Choir and Music Group
Through the Grúpa Ceoil children get to practice and learn a wide variety of instruments, e.g. fiddle, concertina, tin whistle, harp, guitar, banjo, mandolin and piano. There are also opportunities given to develop traditional singing and sean-nós. The Grúpa Ceoil often form the back bone of many memorable school occasions such as Communions, Confirmations and concerts. Children gain great confidence from their involvement in the Grúpa Ceoil.
