The following will ensure a smooth, safe and enjoyable Gael Scoil experience.
Throughout the program, there will be a paid security guard and registered nurse. There will also be multiple volunteers who will be watching the children to ensure their safety.
If at any point you want to talk to someone about any issues or questions, please request a volunteer call for a committee member.
