DkIT enthusiastically embraced Irish language and culture this week as students and staff participated in various activities throughout the campus for Seachtain Na Gaeilge, promoting the Irish language as well as Irish music and dance. Seachtain na Gaeilge is an annual two-week celebration, with schools, communities and organisations all over the country organising and taking part in events covering all aspects of Irish culture and arts.

Events in DkIT kicked off on Monday, as students took part in various “tradathons” throughout the campus. The money raised from the traditional Irish music sessions was put towards “HelpSergio”, a charity set up in aid of Dublin-born Sergio O’ Connor, who was born with an incomplete oesophagus. Over €750 was raised for contribution to the cause.

The Students’ Council of St. Nessan’s Community School are having a copper collection fund raiser for Sergio O’Connor.

So please if there are any coppers that are in jam jars, boxes or behind the couch that you are not using drop them in to PSN and help us help Sergio.

The students also put on a amazing concert in the school canteen.
