Gaelcholáiste Chéitinn (Irish pronunciation: [ˈɡeːl̪ˠxəˌl̪ˠaːʃtʲə ˈçeːtʲɪn̠ʲ]) is an Irish language-medium second-level school serving students from the Clonmel area in County Tipperary in Ireland. It is part of the Central Technical Institute (CTI) on the Mall and is one of the three educational entities within CTI. The other two are the secondary school, Coláiste Chluain Meala, and CTI Senior College of Further Education. All three institutions operate under the Tipperary Education and Training Board (ETB).[1]
History
Gaelcholáiste Chéitinn was named after Irish poet Geoffrey Keating.[2]
The Gaelcholáiste was established in September 2004, initially operating under a three-year probationary period.[3] At its opening, the school had 14 first-year pupils: thirteen boys and one girl. Eleven of these students, including the girl, had come from the local Gaelscoil, while the remaining three came from different primary schools in the area. Notably, at least one parent of eight of those fourteen pupils had previously attended CTI. By 2006, the Gaelcholáiste's student body had grown to 26.[4] It was officially inaugurated in 2009, by which time the enrollment had reached 95 students.[5]
