An Tús - The Beginning

AN TÚS

Bunaíodh an Ghaelscoil i gCeatharlach ar an 1ú Méan Fómhar 1982 le fiche páiste agus aon mhúinteoir amháin. Éileamh ó thuismitheoirí na háite ba chúis le bunú na Gaelscoile. Bhí an scoil ag feidhmiú ar dtús i seanscoileanna na mBráithre Críostaí ar Shráid an Choláiste. Tar éis sé mhí aistríodh an scoil chuig seomraí nua réamhdhéanta a chuir an Roinn Oideachais ar fáil do Bhord Bainistíochta na Gaelscoile ar laithreán 0.5 achar talún a chuir Comhairle Bhailecheantair Cheatharlach ar fáil ar Bhóthar Phollerton.

THE BEGINNING

Gaelscoil Cheatharlach was set up in Carlow Town on lst September l982 with twenty infants on roll and one teacher. The All-Irish school came about due to the demand from local parents. At first Gaelscoil Cheatharlach was housed in The Old Christian Brothers Schools in College Street. After about six months the school transferred to prefabricated classrooms supplied by the Department of Education and erected on 1/2 acre of ground made available to the school's Management Board at Pollerton Road, Carlow.
