I really enjoyed my time in GCL. The teachers were always very supportive and willing to give up their free time to help us. I have so many great memories from my time there. Bhain mé taitneamh agus tairbhe as m’am i GCL!

My experience in Gaelcholáiste Luimnigh was one of positivity and encouragement from first to sixth year. The nurturing ethos of the school was instilled in me from the start and I was consistently supported and guided by the teachers to reach my potential. This support is what inspired me to pursue teaching as I wish to provide the same quality of teaching to future students as I received myself in Gaelcholáiste Luimnigh.

Graduation Year: 2018
University: Coláiste Baitsiléir Oideachais / Bachelors of Education
Course: Biological and chemical sciences

D’fhreastail mé ar GCL ó 2012-2018. Thug saol na scoile i nGCL seans dom feabhas agus forbairt a chur orm féin mar dhéagóir agus anois mar dhuine fásta. Bhí na múinteoirí sa scoil ríthábhachtach dom agus mé ag staidéar go dian don Árdteist. Mar thoradh ar an tacaíocht go léir a bhí faighte agam mar scoláire sa scoil, bhíos in ann d’fhreastail ar MIC agus Baitsiléir Oideachais a bhaint amach i mbliana. Faoi láthair táim mar mhúinteoir bunscoile i mBaile Átha Cliath. Tá Naíonáin Bheaga agam agus is scoil lán Gaelach í. Úsáidim na scileanna a d’fhoghliam mé i nGCL chuile lá agus mé ag múineadh mo Naíonáin Bheaga. Táim an bhuíoch do GCL de bharr go raibh páirt lárnach acu i mo shaol laistigh agus taobh amuigh den scoil.

Tá sé deacair a rá go díreach cén fath go raibh sé bliana comh iontach agam I GCL. Is am deacair agus tábhachtach í le haghaidh gach dalta ar aon nós nuair a thosaíonn tú sa mheáinscoil. Thaitin atmasféar an scoil liom ón gcéad lá ar aghaidh. Bhí sé éasca cairde a dheanamh toisc go raibh an blain comh beag. An rud a sheasann amach dom ná bhí áit le haghaidh gach duine ach ní raibh tú greamaithe san áit sin. Bhí daoine spórtúil a ghlac ról sa díospóireacht, bhí ceoltóirí ar an coiste glas, bhí ionadaí fíor éagsúil ar comhairle na ndaltaí agus de bharr, bhí guth ag gach uile duine i nGaelcholáiste Luimnigh. Bhí sé comh cabhrach nuair a bhí gach baill den foireann oibre ag iarraidh cabhair leat I gconaí in aon slí a bhí riachtannach. Tá na muinteoirí óg agus éasca caint le más rud go raibh fadh éigin agat le cúrsaí scoile no fiú go pearsanta. Mar fhocail scoir, bhí taithí fíor dearfach agam sa scoil agus ní féidir liom caint ar son gach duine ach táim compordach ag abair le aon duine nach raibh mé I mo aonair leis an taithí sin.

It’s hard to put into words exactly why I had such a brilliant six years in GCL. It’s a hard and important time in any teenager’s life when they begin in secondary school. I enjoyed the atmosphere in the school from the very first day. It was easy to make friends because of the small year. What stands out to me the most when I look back is that everyone had a place suited to them in the school but weren’t limited to that place at the same time. There were sporty people on the debating team, there were musicians on the green school’s committee, there were all sorts of representatives on the student’s council which meant every single student in GCL had a voice. It was so helpful knowing that every staff member was happy and eager to help in any way whether it was academic or even personal. The teachers are so young and approachable. I had such a positive experience in GCL and I can’t speak on everyone’s behalf but I am confident in saying I wasn’t alone with my positive experience.
