Kildare students experience new languages

St Conleth’s Community College in Newbridge was one of 150 secondary schools to take part in the Think Languages national event.

The event celebrates the benefits of speaking foreign languages and diversity in schools and communities.

“Our TY students prepared with a lot of enthusiasm language workshops with visiting speakers giving Arabic lessons and Romanian lessons. Cooking workshops took place where students were both food making and food tasting. We also had dancing workshops from Latin dance to breakdancing,” said a school spokesperson.

They said St Conleth’s is proud to celebrate the diversity of its students and the communities they come from.
