Holy Family Community School On Tour – Camchuairt na hEorpa
A foreign tour for Fifth Year pupils has now become an established part of the life of the school. It takes place during the Halloween mid-term break and is a wonderful opportunity for pupils and teachers to travel and to experience the cultural, artistic and historical traditions of another country. Guided tours, boat trips, visits to museums and exhibitions are organised so as to include as many different activities as possible into the busy schedule. Teacher supervision and pupil co-operation have always contributed to the success and the enjoyment of the trip and we look forward to many more tours in the future.
