Amber Flag 5km

Massive congratulations to all our students and staff who completed our inaugural Whole School 5km event.

The event was organised as part of Amber Schools to promote positive mental health, and Active Schools to promote physical activity.

All staff and students were treated to fresh fruit on their return too!

We were so lucky the rain held off for us.

European Tour – Day 4

Homeward bound after a fantastic few days in Amsterdam. This morning was spent at a highly entertaining cheese and clog maker, and a lot of clogs are making their way back to West Limerick😀 Next up was the beautiful traditional windmill village of Zanse Schans finishing up with some shopping. There are some tired bodies and very full bags at the airport – but they are busy planning their next trip😀

European Tour – Day 2

Day 2 of our European tour to Amsterdam. An early start and back to Amsterdam centre to visit the fantastic Nemo Science museum and a quick lunch and some shopping in the city. The afternoon was spent in the beautiful traditional port town of Volendam where some of the group hired bikes and enjoyed a cycle along the harbour. Back to the hotel for a good dinner and a night of card games and chats.

European Tour – Day 1

Day one of our European tour to Amsterdam and some very tired bodies here this evening . an early start at the Anne Frank museum where the students learned about the life of Anne Frank before exploring the house where she and her family hid , off then to Dam square for lunch and free time to explore. The afternoon saw the weather pick up and a beautiful cruise on the canals to take in all of the sites. After covering every inch of Amsterdam on foot and by boat it was time to relax with a fun game of bowling, a great meal and some sleep ..hopefully!! It has certainly been a day off of experiencing new cultures with a fantastic group of students. More adventures tomorrow!!
