Day 4 Lake Garda- Pics

Day 4 marked the final day of a fantastic trip to Italy. After breakfast and checking out of the hotel, the group travelled to Verona where students enjoyed exploring the famous Casa di Gilletta balcony and courtyard and learning more about the story of Romeo and Juliet. The group then visited the impressive Arena Amphitheatre, one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world.
Following this, students had some free time for shopping and food before travelling to the airport for the journey home. Thankfully, all flights and transfers went smoothly and everyone arrived home safe and sound.
The students were a credit to themselves, their families and the school throughout the tour. Their behaviour, enthusiasm and cooperation helped make the trip such an enjoyable and memorable experience for all involved.
Sincere thanks to all staff members (Ms. Casey, Ms. Hough, Ms. Fahy, Ms, Braide, Mr. Dunne and Mr. O’ Tuairisg) for their time, care and commitment in ensuring the success of the tour. Thanks also to parents/guardians for their support throughout the trip.

Today was another fantastic day on the 2nd year Lake Garda tour, packed with excitement, fun and great memories for all of the students.
After breakfast at the hotel, the group travelled by coach to Gardaland, one of Italy’s most famous theme parks. The students spent the day enjoying the wide variety of attractions, rollercoasters and entertainment throughout the park. There was a brilliant atmosphere all day, with students making the most of the rides, shows and time together with friends.
The weather was very good, which added to the enjoyment of the day, and all students represented the school extremely well while in the park. Staff were very pleased with everyone’s behaviour, cooperation and punctuality throughout the day.
Following Gardaland, the group returned to the hotel for dinner before heading out again in the evening for bowling at Bowling Playcenter. This was a lovely way to finish the day, with plenty of friendly competition and laughter among the students and teachers alike.
All students are safe, well and in good spirits as they prepare for their final day tomorrow before travelling home tomorrow night.
Kind regards,

Portumna Community School

Day 3 went back to a day in 79 AD

From Pompeii’s empty amphitheatres to Herculaneum’s preserved villas… walking through stories carved in ash.

Humbling, eerie, and unforgettable !
