The staff, students and parents of St Kilian’s Community School, Bray, were delighted to welcome their German exchange partners recently, after almost five years. On Tuesday, the German pupils and their teachers visited Wicklow Gaol and Beyond the Trees at Avondale. On Wednesday, the group, along with their Irish host students, were warmly welcomed by Cathaoirleach Melanie Corrigan at a civic reception in Bray Town Hall, while Thursday saw the group travel to Dublin. The group returned to Germany on Sunday afternoon, after spending Saturday with the host families. Their trip to Ireland was a wonderful success, and the pupils are already looking forward to the return trip to Wurzburg in June.
