Day 6 and our students headed off to the Costa del Clonakilty or Clon as it is more commonly known.

Their first stop was The Michael Collins House where students were given an inciteful and informative tour about the life and times of Michael Collins and the political scene of the twentieth century. They saw multiple artefacts from this time period too. They were really interested in learning about this fascinating figure and time.

Afterwards, students had enough time to explore this picturesque town. Many students sampled some of the wonderful delights on offer. Iced coffees instead of the more traditional ice creams are proving very popular with this lovely weather.

Thanks to Mr. Conor Uhl for organising, Mr. Ryan Beattie, Ms. Jenn Wade Baker, Ms. Kellie Bell and Ms. Michelle O’Brien for accompanying. The Americans are liking our Wednesday half day and we can’t wait for our trip back to Clonakilty tomorrow. Surfs up!

Thanks to Sean and Damien Long from Long’s buses for their professionalism today.
