IR24 PSLL - Engage - Welcome to Ireland

The Erasmus + Project commenced with a warm welcome extended to the visiting French and Slovakian students and teachers. The welcoming committee, consisting of members of our Student Council, guided the visitors through a comprehensive tour of our school premises. Teachers graciously opened their classroom doors, inviting the visiting groups to explore and inquire about various aspects of the academic environment.​

Introduction to our national sports, GAA as well as an outdoor sports obstacle. The course was set up on a wide-open sports field, offering ample space for participants to take on a variety of exciting physical challenges. Lasting one hour, the activity included running between obstacles, jumping over hurdles, throwing balls at designated targets, and making quick, sharp turns to navigate through the different stations. Both students and teachers were fully engaged, working together and competing in a lively, supportive atmosphere. The highlight of the event was the presence of a well-known GAA sports star, who not only guided participants through the course but also inspired and motivated everyone with personal tips and encouragement. In addition to the obstacle course, the parachute game was a crowd favourite—an energetic, outdoor group activity suitable for all ages that encourages teamwork, communication, and exercise. Students and teachers joined forces, learning to collaborate, stay focused, and interact socially in a fun and dynamic setting that fostered a sense of unity and enjoyment throughout the entire experience​
