Fuair an scoil aitheantas sealadach ón Roinn Oideachas i 1996 agus chuaigh sí faoi Phátrúnacht an Fhorais. Mairéad Ní Ruáin a bhí roghnaithe ag an mBord don bpost mar Phríomhoide na Scoile agus cuireadh tús leis an scoil go hoifigiúil ar an 1ú Meán Fómhair 1996.

History of Gaelscoil na Cruaiche

Gaelscoil na Cruaiche, an all-Irish Catholic Primary School was first opened in September 1995 with seven pupils on its roll on the very first day.

The school received temporary recognition from the Department of Education and Science in 1996 and the Foras Pátrúnachta na Scoile Lán Ghaeilge Teo was requested to become Patron of this new developing school. Mairéad Ní Ruáin was selected by the Board of Management to become Principal and the school was officially opened on the 1st September 1996, under the direction of the Department of Education and Science.

Gaelscoil na Cruaiche received permanent recognition in 2000 and the school has grown and developed beyond belief from then forward. At present, there are thirteen teachers on staff, which consists of eight class teachers, two learning support teachers, two supply panel teachers and an administrative principal. One Special Needs Assistant works in the school.

The school received planning permission to construct a permanent school building in 2007, and we moved into this new building in June 2011. At present, there are 193 pupils attending the school, from Junior Infants to Sixth Class, and there are 22 pupils attending the Naíonra (the pre-school year) which is facilitated within the school building.

Gnásanna & Eolas Ginearálta

An Ghaeilge i mBunscoil Lán-Ghaelach

Is í an Ghaeilge teanga labhartha na scoile. Is é an cur chuige atá i gceist ná go bhfaighidh an páiste seilbh ar an dara teanga seo ar an tslí chéanna agus a dhein sé/sí i gcás na céad teanga – ó bheith á thuiscint, ag éisteacht léi, ag aithint aonad comhréire inti agus sa deireadh ag giniúint focal, ráite agus abairtí uaidh/uaithi féin.

Tá buntáistí ag gabháil le bheith í ngleic leis an dara teanga ag an léibhéal seo. Is bunaithe ar fhíorbhréagáin agus ar fhíorthrealamh atá na gníomhaíochtaí agus an teanga a ghabhann leo; tá ciall na bhfocal le tuiscint uathu féin nó is feidir iad a cheangal le gníomhartha agus le hócáidí a tharlaíonn arís is arís eile. Déantar an teanga nua a chomhcheangal le duine, le háit agus le gníomhaíochtaí áirithe.

Déanfaidh an Múinteoir iarracht ar chumas cainte na bpáistí a fhorbairt agus ar chur lena stór focal ó scéalta agus dánta a chur ar eolas dóibh, ón drámaíocht agus ó chomhrá a dhéanamh leo.

Am

1. Tosaíonn an scoil ar 9.00 r.n. Tá sé tábhachtach go ngabhfadh na páistí chucu féin an nós a bheith ar scoil in am. Níl aon bhall d’fhoireann na scoile freagrach as páistí a bheidh sa chlós roimh am oifigiúil tionóil. Ar chúiseanna sábháilteachta, táthar ag brath go siúlfaidh na daltaí i gcónaí agus iad i gclós na scoile. Tá dianchosc ar rith i gclós na scoile.
2. Níl cead ag páistí dul isteach sa scoil roimh 8.45r.n.
3. Críochnaíonn an lá scoile do ranganna na Naíonán Shóisearach agus Shinsearach ar 1.40 i.n. Níl cead ag Naíonán imeacht abhaile ina n-aonar ach amháin sa chás go bhfuil a leithéad iarrtha go sonrach i scríbhinn ag tuismitheoirí. Is ceart do cibé duine a thiocfaidh go dtí an scoil ag triall ar do pháiste a bheith i gclós na scoile roimh 1.30 i.n. chun nach mbeadh suaitheadh gan ghá ar an bpáiste. Críochnaíonn an lá scoile do dhaltaí na ranganna eile ar a 2.40 i.n.

Irish in the All Irish Primary School

Irish is the spoken language in the school. The idea is that the child will acquire this second language in the way that s/he acquired the first – by understanding, listening, isolating structures and eventually producing words, phrases and sentences.

There are advantages to be gained from exposure to a second language at this level. The activities and the language connected with them are based on real toys and equipment; words are self-explanatory or can be linked to actions and recurring events. The new language is associated with a person, a place and certain activities.

The Múinteoir will try to develop the speaking ability of the children to extend their vocabulary by introducing them to stories and poems, by drama and by involving them in conversation. 

 

 

Cairde na Cruaiche

Coiste na dtuismitheoirí agus a gcairde.

Parents Committee 

Bunaíodh Coiste na dtuistí i 1995.

• Chun teangmháil níos láidre a chothú idir an scoil agus an baile.
• Chun tacaíocht a thabhairt den Bhord Bainistíochta, airgead a bhailiú chun fearais a cheannach.
• Chun comhnascadh níos fearr a chothú idir na tuistí iad féin.

 

The Parents Committee was established in 1995 to:

• Provide a stronger link between the school and home.
• To help the Board of Management in fund-raising for the school.
• To provide a meeting point for parents whose children attend the school.

Bíonn Coiste Nua tofa i Mí Dheireadh Fómhair gach bliain.

Caitheann an Bord feidhmiú i gcónaí faoi na Rialacha le haghaidh Scoileanna Náisiúnta agus na treoracha a eisíonn an Roinn Oideachais agus an Foras.
