Diansraith Course

Designed to improve exam performance and reduce stress

The Diansraith course is designed for students who want to improve exam performance and reduce stress. It provides customised classes for honours and ordinary level students, balancing intensive classroom learning with enjoyable outdoor activities.

Student numbers are limited to ensure individual attention and a close-knit atmosphere.

With 40% of the Leaving Certificate based on spoken Irish, Diansraith focuses strongly on aural, oral, and exam preparation. Teachers use exam focused materials and their experience to assist the students in an intensive focused learning environment. Our course content is frequently updated in line with examination and results trends

The Easter course also includes supervised study time for other subjects, offering a distraction-free environment that supports focused learning and exam preparation.

“Academically my son’s Irish improved tremendously and he found the sporting experiences both challenging and rewarding”

Clare Fallon

Gaillimh

My son had a wonderful experience in Uisce. His experience there has helped his oral and aural Irish so much that he went up in grades and his teacher saw a marked improvement.

Fabia

Dublin

Bhí tréimhse dochreidte againn. Idir na gníomhaíochtaí, an bia agus an teanga, ní dhéanfaidh siad (nó mise) dearmad air!

Liam

My son had an amazing time.  From this parent’s perspective, Uisce has had a hugely positive impact on his language skills and more generally it has put an extra spring in his step.

John Maughan

According to Niamh nothing compared to the fun element she had in Uisce in Belmullet. We asked her what did she prefer, Cancun in Mexico or Uisce and you guys won hands down!

Maria Moran

Compared to other centres we have visited over the years, UISCE is certainly way ahead in terms of accommodation, food (the best we’ve ever had at any centre) and activities.

Caroline O’Brien

Holy Child School, Dublin

Just a quick email to say thanks to you and all the staff for the wonderful time my two sons, Jack and Callum Hazley had your college. They enjoyed every moment and already are wanting to go back.

Joan Hazley

To Fidelma, I believe you hosted our son Ruairi  in your home.  Thank you very much, he said it was wonderful and “the food was exquisite”!  He also said it “was the best two weeks of my life”.

Caitriona

Very happy with the course. We are delighted with the change in our son’s attitude to Irish, not just from an exam point of view but because it is a life skill & their national language

Ger Goan

Hannah has been to UISCE twice and the only thing she complains about is having to come home! It has truly given her a love of the Irish language which is no mean feat as her mother is English

Kate Reynolds

Loch Gorman

It was Liam’s first time away from home on his own but any fears we had vanished within a day of him arriving there. He had a superb experience

Paula Crann

Baile Átha Cliath

The supervision and standard of instruction were excellent (as always) and we look forward to coming back next year for a tenth time!

Jonathan Newsome

Newbridge College

My son Sean had a ball – he just adored the whole thing. His attitude towards Irish has changed completely and he’s using Irish words without even realising it. We are just thrilled

Paula O Sullivan

Cork

I Attended 2 years ago with my school for I think it was a week in 6th class. Coláiste UISCE  really helped my academic skills, would love to attend again, highly recommended. Best time of my life.

Adam Moore-White

It’s a really amazing place, the staff are really helpful and understanding and they have great experience. An amazing way to spend two weeks.
