Tours / Trips

School trips offer valuable, hands-on learning experiences beyond the traditional classroom setting, fostering personal development, social bonding, and a deeper understanding of various subjects. Trips can range from short local visits to longer, multi-day trips, both within Ireland and abroad, and are often linked to specific curriculum areas or designed to broaden students’ perspectives on different cultures and environments. Safety, appropriate behaviour, and the inclusion of all students are key considerations in planning and executing these trips.
