Checking out Kingstown

Pupils from 6^th class recently travelled to Kinsgtown N.S in Clifden. This presented us with an opportunity to reflect upon and compare the way of life in a West Connemara school to that of our school which is situated eight miles east of Galway, in the parish of Lackagh. Both schools are renowned for their rich traditions in farming, sport, music, neighbourly co-operation and support. Our visit involved a music session and sing song, a questions and answers session, an opportunity to participate in playground games and a wonderful opportunity to investigate the incredible flora and fauna of west Connemara. All pupils were given a wonderful opportunity to mix and get to know one another. Wonderful fun was had by all. It was a very memorable occasion. Thanks to Mr. Kennelly and the staff of Kingstown N.S for organising and facilitating this unforgettable visit and for their wonderful hospitality. Sincere thanks also to Alfie our marvellous bus driver for being so kind to one and all and for participating in this event.
