Holiday Clubs
Bun-sgoil Taobh na Pàirce, 139b Bonnington Road
Edinburgh EH6 5NQ
As well as being the leading provider of Gaelic early years and after-school club provision at Òganan we run holiday clubs throughout the year and offer a range of different opportunities and activities at each one.
Our holiday clubs are available to all children aged 3–12 years.
The holiday clubs are carefully balanced to keep the children thoroughly entertained throughout the day. Not only do they try lots of new sports and active games, they learn new skills and lave a lot of fun! With plenty of collaborative games, it’s a great way to develop their teamwork and communication skills.
The more we can assist the children in developing their language skills the more it will benefit them throughout life’s journey.
Our holiday clubs give parents the comfort that their children are having fun in a nurturing and caring environment and the satisfaction that they are uniquely developing their language skills. Encountering and employing Gaelic in a range of settings, is important educationally and in bolstering the self-esteem of our young Gaelic speakers.
Our programmes
Our venues are chosen for their facilities and the Òganan staff plan sessions to make the most of the time and space available. Our holiday club programmes are created in collaboration with the children and based on their likes and interests.

• Half day sessions
• Daily sessions

We run:
• February Holiday Club
• Easter Holiday Club
