Gaelic Residential Events
At our Gaelic residential events young people get the chance to take part in a variety of workshops including Gaelic song, Group work, music recording, camera skills and video making, as well as orienteering and outdoor activities, all through Gaelic. Dates of any future events will be posted here and on social media.
The events are open to pupils in P7 – S4, who speak Gaelic. It is a fantastic opportunity for young people to spend a weekend immersed in Gaelic, with the chance to make new friends as well as learn new skills.
We are grateful to Bòrd na Gàidhlig, Screen Scotland and Astar Media for support towards these events in the past.
We are grateful for the financial support from Bòrd na Gàidhlig, Screen Scotland agus Astar Media which allows us to make this event ‘Pay what you can’, meaning families are able to pay what they can afford.
On the booking site, you will see four payment options, starting with “I can’t pay anything and would like to get a free place.” If you can pay more, then you have options to pay £25, £50, £75, £100 or £125.
£125 represents the cost of accommodation, food, workshops (including materials used during the workshops) and evening activities. We want every child to be able to take advantage of this opportunity, so please choose the payment option that suits you. The weekend can also be paid for in instalments. If you would like to pay this way, please contact Lorraine.
