Kildare school is fundraising for new class for children with autism
Gaelscoil Chill Dara in Newbridge, Co Kildare is fundraising for a new class for children with autism.
In September 2025, Gaelscoil Chill Dara was delighted to open Rang Zoé, a class for autistic children who are at the heart of all we do in GSCD.
A school spokesperson said: "Even though we have a lovely classroom we still require money to pay for the extended sensory room, individualised technology for each child, a sensory friendly outdoor teaching, learning and play area amongst other much needed resources. Please support us to support all of the children in GSCD.
From 18th March to 18th April 2025 Pobal na Gaelscoil will be (virtually) walking, jogging and running the 509 km from Daingean Uí Cúis to Eragail, Gaoth Dobhair.
