Fáilte go Coláiste Ghlór na Mara. Is scoil lán-Ghaeilge ilchreidmheach muid atá lonnaithe i bhfoirgneamh álainn ar Bhóthar na hAille, Baile Brigín. Osclaíodh an scoil i Meán Fómhair 2014 le freastal ar dhaltaí i bhFine Gall thuaidh, oirthear na Mí agus Lú theas. Seo an cúigiú bliain ar an bhfód dúinn agus táimid an-bhródúil as an méid atá bainte amach againn le cúig bliana anuas. Tá córas tumoideachas i bhfeidhm againn ina múintear gach ábhar trí mheán na Gaeilge. Soláthraíonn an suíomh scoile seo faisnéis do thuismitheoirí agus comhphobal na scoile faoi nuacht agus imeachtaí scoile.
Na bíodh drogall ort teacht i dteagmháil linn má tá tuilleadh eolais uait.
Welcome to Coláiste Ghlór na Mara. We are an Irish language multi-denominational secondary school, located in a state of the art building on the Naul road in Balbriggan. The school was opened in 2014 to serve the people of North Fingal, East Meath and South Louth. This is our fifth year to provide education through the medium of Irish and we are very proud of how much we have achieved. We have an immersion based system in place whereby all subjects are taught through the medium of Irish. This school website aims to provide comprehensive information to parents and the school community regarding school news and events.
Mar chuid de Lá Feasachta Idirnáisiúnta an Uathachais, bhí cuairteoirí an-speisialta againn i gColáiste Ghlór na Mara inné. Tháinig Carol Lennon, duine dár dtuismitheoirí, araon le hoibreoirí deonacha eile as My Canine Companions chugainn leis na madraí seirbhíse chun labhairt faoi uathachas agus an obair a dhéanann na madraí seirbhíse.
D'fhoghlaim muid an-chuid. Mar shampla, conas idirghníomhú le madraí seirbhíse agus na daoine atá leo i spásanna oscailte. D'fhoghlaim muid go bhfuil sé an-thábhachtach iad a choinneáil ar théide agus muid ag siúl. Má ionsaíonn madra ar an sráid madra seirbhíse, mar shampla, seans go ndéanfadh sé sin neirbhíseach iad. Má chailleann siad na scileanna atá foghlamtha acu sa traenáil, seans nach mbeadh siad in ann an obair a dhéanann siad a leanúint ar aghaidh.
D'fhoghlaim muid faoi na cineálacha madraí a roghnaítear le bheith ina madraí seirbhíse, conas a ainmnítear iad, conas a roghnaítear teaghlaigh dóibh agus conas go ndéanann siad difríocht do na teaghlaigh a fhaigheann iad. Os rud é go raibh do mhac/iníon ag an óráid, cuir ceist orthu céard a d'fhoghlaim siad aige; beidh siad in ann an t-eolas a roinnt leat!
Ba mhaith linn ár mbuíochas mór a ghabháil leis na daoine uaisle a tháinig isteach chugainn inné; Carol, Debbie, Trish agus Karolina agus na cairde beaga áille a tháinig isteach leo ar cheithre cos, Uggs, Indie, Izzie agus Stitch. Osclaíodh Rang Lir i mí Mhéan Fómhair 2018, rang le haghaidh daltaí le huathachas i gColáiste Ghlór na Mara. Tá an t-ábhar seo an-thábhachtach dúinn agus tá áthas an domhain orainn feasacht maidir le huathachas a scaipeadh, fiú amháin ar bhealach beag.
As part of World Autism awareness day, we had some very special visitors in Coláiste Ghlór na Mara today. One of our parents, Carol Lennon, and three other volunteers along with their service dogs from My Canine Companion treated pupils and staff to a really informative session on autism and the important role of service dogs.
We learned lots today, for example, how to react to service dogs and their handlers in public spaces.
We were informed how important it is to keep dogs on leads when out walking, as if a service dog was attacked by another dog, it could make them nervous, undo their training and therefore deem them unfit to continue in their role.
We learned plenty more about why certain breeds are chosen, the criteria used to allocate service dogs to families, how they are named, trained and ultimately the difference these dogs make to the families who are lucky enough to avail of their service. Ask your son or daughter if they were at the talk and if they can share any of the information they learned with you.
We would like to sincerely thank our volunteers today, Carol, Debbie, Trish and Karolina and their amazing canine companions, Uggs, Indie, Izzie and Stitch for taking time out of their day to visit us and educate us on World Autism awareness day. As Rang Lir, a class for autistic students opened in September here in Coláiste Ghlor na Mara, this subject is very close to our hearts and we are delighted to be involved, even in a small way in spreading autism awareness.

Comhghairdeas leis an Coiste Gaelbhratach a bhailigh an dara bratach i mbliana don scoil. Bhí lá mór ann i ráschúrsa an liopaird le Gael Linn, Seo Linn agus Conradh na Gaeilge. Bhain na scoláirí an-taitneamh as agus chan ceann dár scoláirí os comhair an slua, ghlac triúr eile i gcluichí spóirt, giolcaireacht agus in amhrán na gcupán ar an lá. Maith sibh!
Congratulatíons to the Gaelbhratach Committee who collected their second Gaelbhratach flag this year for the school. There was a great day to be had at the leopardstown racecourse with Gael linn, Seo Linn and Conradh na Gaeilge. The students enjoyed themselves and even sang in front of the crowd, took part in tweeting competitions and a sports trial. Well done to everyone involved.
Bhí Lá Gairmthreora sa scoil ar an Aoine 11ú ina raibh Lucht na hIdirbhliana ag déanamh taispeántas den Gairm agus an Cúrsa ar mhaith leo a dhéanamh amach anseo. Bhí bl3, bl2 agus bl1 i láthair agus bhain gach duine ann sult as. Rinne na daltaí súirbhé ansin ar an imeacht agus bhí siad an-tógtha leis.
There was a Careers' day on Friday the 11th in school. The fourth years presented their chosen career paths and there was information on the new point system, the minimum wage per hour. There was a survey afterwards and the feedback was positive.
A chairde, Seo na pictiúir ó chéad cheoldráma na scoile, ‘Mamma Mia’. Dhíol muid amach ceithre sheó thar dhá lá agus oíche agus bhí bród an domhain orainn ár gcéad ghrúpa sa scoil a fheiceáil ar an stáitse. Rinne siad sár-jab agus chaith an lucht féachana na seónna ar fad sna trithí ag gáire. Léiríonn seo an scil atá ag na daltaí san aisteoireacht agus sa cheol ach freisin, léiríonn sé seo an mhuinín atá acu iontu féin, rud atá fíorthábhachtach i saol an lae inniu. Ní bheadh an caighdeán mar an gcéanna ar chor ar bith gan an tacaíocht a thug cór na scoile dóibh ach an oiread. Bhí siad ar fheabhas. Ba mhaith linn ár mbuíochas a ghabháil leis na daltaí agus múinteoirí go léir a chabhraigh leis an seó ach ba mhaith linn freisin ár mbuíochas a ghabháil leis an bpobal. Fuair muid tacaíocht ó chomhlachtaí áitiúla chun an seó a chur ar an stáitse agus tugadh urraíocht dúinn freisin chun duaiseanna a bhronnadh don chrannchur. Ní fiú seó a chur ar siúl mura bhfuil daoine ann chun é a fheiceáil, agus mar sin, go raibh míle maith agaibh as ucht bhur dtacaíochta nuair a tháinig sibh chun ‘Mamma Mia’ a fheiceáil. Tá muid ag súil go mór leis an gcéad sheó eile an bhliain seo chugainn, nuair a bheidh na scrúduithe go léir i ndiaidh na ndaltaí i mbliain 3 😄. Bainigí sult as na pictiúir.
A chairde, Here are the pictures from our first musical, ‘Mamma Mia’. We sold out four shows over two days and nights and we couldn’t have been prouder of our very first cohort of students who put the show on the stage. They did an exceptional job and the audiences spent the four shows in stitches. We were delighted to see our Transition Years develop skills in acting and singing, but also to see them develop their self-confidence, something that will really stand to them in the future. The standard of the show was undoubtedly raised by our First Year choir, they were fantastic. We would like to thank the other students and the many staff members who helped us to put this musical together. We would also like to thank the community especially. We received support from many local businesses who sponsored our program and we also received many donations in the form of prizes for our raffle. A show can only be put on stage if people come to see it, so thank you so much to those who came to support our very first effort. We’re looking forward to the next musical, once our 3rd years have their exams behind them 😁. We hope you enjoy the pictures.
Buíochas speisialta le Mark Newport, a ghlac na pictiúir.
