Student life in Letterfrack
Letterfrack is a small vibrant village located within a ten minute drive of Clifden and set close to Connemara’s main attractions, Connemara National Park and Kylemore Abbey. The village is located on a crossroads beside the sea and is renowned for its live traditional music and sensitivity to environmental issues. It is also an area associated with outdoor activities with several walking trails and numerous beaches close by. A range of private accommodation, situated in the village and its surrounding area, is available to rent by students. Letterfrack has a good choice of places to eat and drink including cafes, bars and restaurants.
Facilities on campus include an all-weather sports pitch, a basket ball court and tennis court. There are a number of successful clubs that provide the students with an outlet for extracurricular activities. The success of these clubs has been based on the input and energy of lecturing staff who devote time to training and organising matches. In 2008, GMIT Letterfrack won its first trophy, claiming the All-Ireland Division 3 League title in hurling. This was followed by the success of the football team who won the HE Division 3 title in 2010. Ellis Hall (adjacent to the college) is available for hire on a number of evenings per week and can facilitate table tennis, badminton, martial arts and pool. The students also have their own Woodturning Club for those with an interest in developing their skills in this area. Wireless internet access is also available on campus for all students.
Student participation in national and international competitions related to their area of study has become an integral part of their educational development. It allows students to benchmark themselves against other students in related disciplines and offers external feedback on project work. The college strongly promotes participation in such competitions which provide added incentives to students to perform to the highest level. In 2011, students of GMIT Letterfrack won the Crafts Council of Ireland / House and Home Student Designer of the Year, the Wood Marketing Federation Design Award and the National Skills Competition in Cabinet Making.
Fáilte go GMIT Leitir Fraic
Tá cláir GMIT i Leitir Fraic á reáchtáil i gcomhpháirtíocht le Conamara Thiar (eagraíocht forbartha pobail agus tuaithe atá bunaithe i gConamara Thiar Thuaidh). Faoi láthair tá 225 neach léinn lánaimseartha ag an gColáiste.
Sa bhliain 2008, rinne GMIT Leitir Fraic a cuid clár a athstruchtúrú le rogha agus solúbthacht níos fearr a thabhairt do na neacha léinn. Chomh maith leis sin, tá nascálacha bunaithe ag an gColáiste le tionscal agus le coláistí thar lear le blianta beaga. Cuirtear socrúcháin oibre ar fáil in Éirinn, san AE, san Astráil agus i Meiriceá. Cuidíonn cláir Erasmus agus Socrates atá cistithe ag an AE le roghanna staidéir thar sáile. Riarann GMIT Leitir Fraic clár 4 bliana ab initio dar teideal Baitsiléir Eolaíochta (Onór) in Oideachas Dearaidh agus Teicneolaíochta. Oileann an clár seo neacha léinn le bheith ina múinteoirí ábhar teicneolaíochta go dtí an Ardteistiméireacht i scoileanna dara leibhéal.
Cuireann an Coláiste comórtais neach léinn chun cinn go fuinniúil toisc go spreagann siad an neach leinn le feidhmiú ar an leibhéal is airde. Sa bhliain 2008, ghnóthaigh neacha léinn de chuid GMIT Leitir Fraic Dearthóir Neach Léinn na Bliana agus an Comórtas Náisiúnta Scileanna i nDéantús Troscáin. Is cuid ríthábhachtach dá bhforbairt oideachasúil é rannpháirtíocht na neach léinn i gcomórtais náisiúnta agus idirnáisiúnta a bhaineann lena réimse staidéir. Ligeann sé do neacha léinn iad féin a chur i gcomórtas le neacha léinn eile i ndisciplíní gaolmhara agus tugann sé aischothú seachtrach dóibh ar obair thionscadail.
Bíonn an-tóir ag fostóirí ar chéimithe ó na cúrsaí uile ar champas Leitir Fraic. Cuireann céimithe le, agus imríonn siad tionchar ar, réimsí próiseas dearaidh agus déantúsaíochta troscáin ar bhealaí atá nuálach, cruthaitheach agus freagrach do riachtanais agus d’fhorbairt tionscal troscáin d’ardchaighdeán na hÉireann.
