Think Languages 2024

Yesterday Transition Year students participated in the Think Languages Event (rescheduled from the 21st November). A Champion Team led by seven Transition Year Students, Meabh, Connor, Ryan, Luke, Frankie, Joy and Sara organised a range of activities for the day. These included Bingo, A Polish and Volleyball Workshop, A Spanish Murder Mystery and a Scavenger Hunt. Thanks to Ms Radon and Ms Byrnes for facilitating workshops and well done to all the prize winners.

This was the seventh annual #ThinkLanguages event and took place in over 200 post primary schools with over 17,500 transition year students nationwide involved in the celebration. The Languages Connect flagship event aims to highlight the personal, social, professional and economic benefits of foreign language learning.

The theme for the festival is “Think Global, Act Local” with students encouraged to seek out the multitude of cultural and linguistic diversity in their school, home, local community and beyond as inspiration for their individual events. Each event is tailormade by individual schools with the support of Languages Connect, an awareness raising campaign facilitated by Post Primary Languages Ireland. We look forward to next year already!
