Sgoil-Àraich Stafainn a’ faighinn sàr aithisg bho Luchd-sgrùdaidh a’ Chùraim

Às dèidh tadhal gun rabhadh o chionn ghoirid bho Luchd-sgrùdaidh a’ Chùraim, fhuair Sgoil-Àraich Stafainn sàr aithisg agus àrd-mholadh.

Thuirt a’ Bh-uas NicPhàrlain, Ceannard Bun-Sgoil Stafainn, “Tha mi fìor thoilichte leis an aithisg seo agus gu bheil sinn air ‘fìor mhath’ fhaighinn anns na ceithir inbhean cùraim. Bu toil leam taing a thoirt dhan luchd-obrach againn air fad airson an cuid obrach dhìcheallach, do phàrantan airson an taic leantainneach agus gu sònraichte dhan chloinn againn airson a bhith nan rionnagan beaga.”

Chomharraich an aithisg gun robh a’ chlann uile fìor thoilichte, gun robh iad a’ gabhail pàirt, gun robh tòrr fealla-dhà aca an lùib diofar chleasan agus gun robh e a’ còrdadh sònraichte math riutha a bhith air a’ bhlàr a-muigh. Chaidh toirt fa-near gun robh na dàimhean matha le teaghlaichean a’ cur taic ri leantainneachd cùraim agus com-pàirteachasan èifeachdach. Rinn an neach-sgrùdaidh moladh: ‘Bha eòlasan tlachdmhor, brosnachail is inntinneach air an tabhann dhan chloinn agus bha seo a’ brosnachadh iongantas, mac-meanmna agus cluiche còmhla. Bha soirbheachasan is coileanaidhean na cloinne air an aithneachadh is air an comharrachadh, gan cuideachadh gus a bhith moiteil is tapaidh agus a’ cur taic rim fèin-mhisneachd.’

Thuirt an Comhairliche Calum Rothach, Cathraiche Comataidh Gàidhlig Chomhairle na Gàidhealtachd: “Bu toil leam an cothrom seo a ghabhail meal-an-naidheachd a chur air Sgoil-Àraich Stafainn agus iad air aithisg fhaighinn o chionn ghoirid às dèidh tadhal gun rabhadh bho Luchd-sgrùdaidh a’ Chùraim. Bha toraidhean na h-aithisge sàr-mhath agus tha mi moiteil gun d’ fhuair iad comharran àrda airson nan inbhean cùraim uile. Bu toil leam taing a thoirt dhan luchd-obrach is dhan luchd-stiùiridh dìleas uile a chuir ris an deagh fhios air ais a chaidh fhaotainn bhon sgrùdadh. Bu toil leam cuideachd taing a thoirt dha na teaghlaichean uile a bhios a’ cur taic ris an sgoil is an luchd-obrach. Tha seo na dheagh eisimpleir de dh’obrachadh com-pàirteach math is èifeachdach eadar na sgoiltean againn agus coimhearsnachd na sgoile san fharsaingeachd.”

Thuirt an Comhairliche Iain MacFhionnlaigh, Cathraiche Comataidh Foghlaim Chomhairle na Gàidhealtachd: “Tha mi fìor thoilichte cluinntinn mun deagh thadhal a bha aig Luchd-sgrùdaidh a’ Chùraim gu Sgoil-Àraich Stafainn, agus mun deagh fhios air ais a chaidh a thoirt seachad mar phàirt dhen sgrùdadh. Tha mi cinnteach gum bi an luchd-obrach, na pàrantan agus a’ choimhearsnachd moiteil a leithid de dh’fhios air ais fhaighinn agus seo a’ comharrachadh gu bheilear a’ dèanamh obair mhath gus taic a chur ri teaghlaichean agus clann. ’S math a rinn sibh uile.”
