Rules and Regulations

Riail na Gaeilge
Students must make a genuine effort to speak Irish at all times in order to improve their fluency. Where a student makes little or no attempt to speak Irish, parents will be contacted with a view to improving their child's effort. The college authorities reserve the right to request that a student is removed from the course should they show blatant and persistent disregard for this rule.

By accepting the rules and regulations it is assumed that you agree to our medical procedure policy. In the event of your child having a minor ailment during their stay it may be necessary to offer them an over the counter remedy from the Chemist. Some examples of over the counter remedies would be strepsils, calpol, paracetemol, nurofen, motillium, lomitil and creams for burns or insect bites. Please inform us of any medication your child may be allergic to. Please inform us of any medical conditions or ailments your child may have prior to commencement of the course by way of writing.

All medical costs are borne by the student.

We monitor the students closely throughout the duration of the course. All students must attend a briefing session on arrival. This is an important talk and students are asked to pay full attention at this time. Students are made aware of all local dangers, designated areas, rules and regulations and safety aspects of the course. Generally very few problems arise and therefore we ask you not to anticipate any. There are plenty of qualified and experienced teachers and assistant teachers in charge during all organised activities and help and supervision is readily to hand. We ask for the full cooperation of each and every student participating on our programmes. The rules and regulations cannot and should not be broken.
