We are really excited that we can offer this residential event to both junior and senior age groups, but parallel timetables and classes at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels mean there are appropriate classes for all ages and abilities. If you have been to F\u00e8is Rois nan Deugairean before, you can expect the same level of sessions, activities and craic with your own age group as always! If you are a parent of a primary school pupil who might be staying away from home for the first time at our event, rest assured that they will be cared for and nurtured 24 hours a day throughout the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of our tutors are experienced, professional musicians, skilled in working with young people. We also have a pool of supervisors (house parents) and volunteers who help our events run smoothly. Young people are supervised at all times and we work in accordance with Child Protection and Health &amp; Safety Guidelines. Our staff are all members of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygov.scot\/pvg-scheme\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Protecting Vulnerable Groups Scheme<\/a>&nbsp;administered by Disclosure Scotland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are committed to making traditional music accessible to all and to eliminate barriers for participation. If you would like to talk in confidence about support for learners with disabilities or specific access requirements for your child, please contact&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:christian.gamauf@feisrois.org\">Christian Gamauf<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also offer hire instruments free of charge for anyone who needs to borrow a musical instrument. We can provided a limited number of whistles and chanters if needed but, given the nature of these instruments, we would encourage you to bring your own. Whistles should be in the key of D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the cost of the residential F\u00e8is week is a barrier to your child participating, please contact us in confidence. In the first instance, check to see if you might be eligible for us to \u00a3200 of support from the Highland Children\u2019s Trust:  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hctrust.co.uk\/what-we-offer\/for-families\/\">For Parents &#8211; The Highland Children&#8217;s Trust (hctrust.co.uk)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically, F\u00e8is Rois offered a residential week-long course for primary school pupils during the Easter holidays and a separate week for secondary school pupils in October. &nbsp;However, the impact of the pandemic on the arts sector, and the impact that the cost-of-living crisis is having on families, means that it is financially challenging to have two residential courses at present. On a positive note, the change to one residential course in October and a non-residential course in the Easter holidays, with both weeks open to all ages (primary and secondary) means that young people now have two opportunities to attend a F\u00e8is week throughout the year instead of only one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fe\u0300is Rois nan Deugairean\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kfo9oxwnvMI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It was fun and I loved the musical experience.<\/p>\n<cite>2017 participant<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-tab kt-tab-inner-content kt-inner-tab-2 kt-inner-tab_b83020-e1\"><div class=\"kt-tab-inner-content-inner\">\n<p><strong>Residential places: \u00a3350<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Includes all accommodation, meals, 20 hours of professional tuition and five nights of evening activities.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Second child residential: \u00a3300<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>As above for additional child(ren) from the same family.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Non-residential: \u00a3200<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Tuition, lunch and access to all evening activities.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For families on low incomes, assistance with the cost of a child\/children attending F\u00e8is Rois courses may be available from the&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hctrust.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Highland Children\u2019s Trust<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you would like to chat in confidence about seeking financial assistance please contact&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:fiona.dalgetty@feisrois.org\">Fiona Dalgetty<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paying in instalments <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is possible to pay for places in instalments by setting up a monthly payment plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you are booking one child&#8217;s residential place (\u00a3350) and would like to pay from September until March, there would be a monthly cost of \u00a350.

We want to ensure that everyone has a fun and safe time when they are with us and we ask participants to sign an age-appropriate code of conduct form where they agree to treat everyone respectfully and adhere to the rules of the event, which are in place for their safety. F\u00e8is participants must adhere to our strict no alcohol, no drugs and no smoking policy. We will call the parents\/carers of any young person found to be breaching the Code of Conduct agreement and ask them to collect their child from the event.

Mobile phones are permitted but participants are asked to make all calls home before bedtime and will be asked to switch off all phones and give them to their supervisors at bed time. We want everyone to be well rested so that everyone has plenty of energy for the week! In line with our Safeguarding Policy, we are unable to provide WIFI at our events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>SUPERVISORS (House Parents)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to our amazing tutor team, we have a team of experienced supervisors who look after the young people when they are not in a workshop or a class. They provide 24\/7 care and are supported \/ managed by senior staff from F\u00e8is Rois. Every participant, whether residential or non-residential, is introduced to their supervisor for the week at registration on Monday morning. We have ratios of one supervisor for every eight young people (P4-7) and one supervisor for every ten young people (S1-6). Our freelance supervisors escort young people to classes, meals and evening activities, and support participants with any difficulties that may arise during their time with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants &#8211; please let your supervisor or another member of the F\u00e8is team know if you are feeling unwell or homesick, or if there is anything at all bothering you during the week.&nbsp; We take very seriously the duty of care we have to all of the young people attending the F\u00e8is and we want to ensure that everyone is happy and healthy throughout the week. All issues are dealt with sensitively by the F\u00e8is team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>REGISTRATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The F\u00e8is Team will be ready to welcome participants for registration at Ullapool High School, between 10.30am and 11.30am on Monday 16th October.

During registration you will drop off your musical instruments (please remember to label them!), your luggage if you are a residential participant (see below for a handy list of what you might like to bring), and choose your evening activity for Wednesday night when we have a big programme to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Non-residential participants should register for the event between 10.30am and 11.30am on Monday and then they sign out at 4pm each day and sign in at 9.30am from Tuesday morning onwards. Secondary school pupils can sign in and out themselves. Primary school pupils need to be dropped off and collected by a parent\/carer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>TRANSPORT TO &amp; FROM THE FEIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>F\u00e8is Rois has booked a coach to depart from Dingwall Leisure Centre at 09.15 on Monday 16th October.

Please let us know if you have siblings who would prefer to share but perhaps one is in P7 and one is in S2, and we can try to accommodate this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lunches and a morning snack are provided at the school for all participants, including non-residential participants \u2013 you do not need to bring pack lunches unless you want to!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evening meals will be provided for residential participants only at The Ceilidh Place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please bring a labelled water bottle to use throughout the week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FRIDAY NIGHT CONCERT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 tickets for parents\/carers are included in the fee you have paid to attend the F\u00e8is.

We encourage parents\/carers not to send their child with lots of cash that can be lost!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please bring your own instrument if you have one.
