Mar chuid den chomhoibriú atá ar bun ag Comhphobal Foghlama na Speiríní agus na nGlinntí roghnaíodh labhracht na Gaeilge a bhrú mar sprioc i mbliana. Oíche Mháirt 3ú Márta 2026 bhailigh roinnt daltaí R6, teaghlaigh agus baill foirne ó gach bunscoil lán-Ghaeilge i gContae Dhoire le chéile i halla spóirt úr-nua de chuid Ghaelcholáiste Dhoire. Ba é an chéad comórtas caint phoiblí dár dteideal “Tuairimí” don aois seo roimhe. Ba tógadh croí ar fad é an ceiliúradh ar an líofacht, an cur i láthair agus an paisean a léirigh daltaí ó Ghaelscoil an tSeanchaí (agus na Gaelscoileanna ar fad) ar ócáid ina raibh sár-chaighdeán aitheanta ag na moltóirí agus aíonna go léir. Ba chóir go raibh Naoimh, Gerard agus Neansaí iontach bródúil asaibh féin. Labhair í agus mairfidh sí! Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí! Gaelscoil an tSeanchaí abú!

As part of the collaboration between the “Sperrin and Glens Learning Community” for Gaelscoileanna, Oracy in Irish has been chosen as an area of focus to develop this year. On Tuesday night 3rd March 2026 a number of R6 pupils, families and staff from all Irish-medium primary schools in County Derry gathered in Gaelcholáiste Dhoire's brand new sports hall for the inaugural public speaking contest entitled "Tuairimí" (Opinions) for this age group. The celebration of the fluency, presentation and passion shown by pupils from Gaelscoil an tSeanchaí (and all the Gaelscoileanna as a whole) was a heart-warming celebration, an event where all the judges and guests recognised the excellence of their quality. Naoimh, Gerard and Neansaí should be very proud of themselves! Labhair í agus mairfidh sí! Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí! Gaelscoil an tSeanchaí abú!

Ghlac daltaí ó R5/6/7 ó Ghaelscoil an tSeanchaí agus go leor Gaeilscoileanna eile ar fud Chontaetha Dhoire, Thír Eoghain agus Aontroma páirt in Ilchomórtas Iomána, Blitz Uladh mar chuid d’imeachtaí Sheachtain na Gaeilge. Bhí 26 foireann páirteach ag Halla Bruach na Cluaine. Bhain na daltaí ar fad s’againn sult as an Ghaeilge, craic agus imirt ar fad. Ár mbuíochas le Conchúr Ó Muirí, Oifigeach Forbartha Gaeilge as an imeacht iontach a reáchtáil, le Gaelcholáiste Dhoire as na réiteoirí iontacha, le baill foirne s’againn as an tacaíocht agus leis na daltaí s’againn as na hiarrachtaí s’acu!

Pupils from R5/6/7 from Gaelscoil an tSeanchaí and many other Irish-medium schools throughout Counties Derry, Tyrone and Antrim took part in a Hurling Competition, Ulster Blitz as part of the Seachtain na Gaeilge events.
