Bhailigh slua mór le chéile ag Gaelscoil Dhroichead na Banndan, Corcaigh le déanaí chun ceiliúradh a dhéanamh ar oscailt oifigiúil an fhoirgnimh nua. Bhí na Teachtaí Dála Seamus Ó Dálaigh agus Micheál Mac Carthaigh i measc siúd a bhí i láthair.
This is the first time since the school was founded in 1995 that it has a permanent building on its own site.
The school’s principal, Sean Ó Láimhín, showed the new classrooms, the learning support room, the resource room and the computer room to the guests.
The school’s pupils provided excellent entertainment on the day – senior infants performed their own version of ‘Goldilocks’, while children from other classes danced, sang and read poems.
The Mayor of Bandon, Gillian Coughlan, cut the ribbon and Fr Myles McSweeney and Reverend Denis McCarthy blessed the school.
Caoimhín Ó hEaghra, General Secretary of An Foras Pátrúnachta, pulled back the curtain to show the school’s plaque to the crowd.
According to Ó hEaghra, Gaelscoil Dhroichead na mBanndan is a great example of the demand there is for Gaelscoileanna around the country and the benefits of education through Irish.
Is é seo an chéad uair ó bhunaíodh an scoil i 1995, a bhfuil foirgneamh buan aici ar a suíomh féin.
Thaispeáin príomhoide na scoile, Séan Ó Láimhín, na seomraí ranga, an seomra tacaíochta foghlama, na seomraí acmhainne agus seomra na ríomhairí do na haíonna.
Chuir daltaí na scoile siamsaíocht den scoth ar fáil ar an lá –ghlac naíonáin shinsearacha páirt ina leagan féin den dhráma ‘Goldilocks’, chuir na daltaí ó ranganna eile rince Gaelach, amhráin agus dáin ar fáil.
Ghearr Méara Dhroichead na Banndan, Gillian Ní Cochláin, an ribín agus bheannaigh an tAthair Myles Mac Suibhne agus an tUrramach Denis McCarthy an scoil.
Tharraing Caoimhín Ó hEaghra, Ard Rúnaí ar an bhForas Pátrúnachta, an cuirtín siar chun plaic na scoile a thaispeáint don slua.
Dar le Ó hEaghra, is sampla maith í Gaelscoil Dhroichead na Banndan ar an éileamh mór ar ghaelscoileanna ar fud na tíre agus na buanna a bhaineann leis an ngaelscolaíocht.
