Denise Dowling from Bishopland Community School organised a National competition for primary schools to learn to sign the Irish National Anthem in ISL. This was a fantastic opportunity for us to learn the Irish National Anthem and to practice our ISL Skills.
Fifteen members from our Junior class entered the competition representing their own national primary school and the judges (5 independent judges) have commented that members of Athy Sing and Sign club really stood out with their ISL skills.
Caoimhe Owens representing Gaelscoil Athí won the individual entry. We are very proud of her and of all our members. They are all winners! They all submitted their entries signing the FULL Irish National Anthem into ISL
We would like to thank Denise Dowling from Bishopland Community School for giving us this opportunity.
Caoimhe has won a VIP trip to Leinster House for all her class. We are so looking forward to this day trip for all the Junior members when things get back to normal.
All of the submitted videos were compiled together and shown on RTE News2Day.
On screen as the presenter is talking about this competition you see 3 girls - they are three girls from Athy Sing and Sign Club!! They were absolutely chuffed!! You will also get to see all 15 members in the video too.
Special thanks to Isobel Brady from Shooting Stars Athy for compiling this video of our Athy Sing & Sign members signing the Irish National Anthem in ISL.
