Twelve pupils from 10A accompanied by Mr. Keith & Mr. Todd visited the Ypres and Somme battlefields with twelve boys from Christian Brothers School, Glen Road. The boys had a great time learning about the exploits of the 36th (Ulster) Division and 16th (Irish) Division in Flanders and the Somme.
It was a very moving experience, especially when three boys from each school laid a wreath on behalf of 'The INternational School for Peace" which organised and facilitated the visit. The boys from each school got on very well together. They really enjoyed the outdoor skating rink at the Christmas market in Ypres town square.
Photos from the trip can be viewed in the Gallery.
