It was a quiet crowd of 42 students that gathered inside Dublin Airport on Saturday morning, along with the attending teachers, Ms Mazzucato, Mr Kirwan, Mr Byrne, Mr Ryan and Mr Cronin.

Arriving at Paris at around 9:45am, we were soon off on our coach and heading to our first place of interest, Champs Elysées, a street running for over a mile amidst grand Parisian buildings and green gardens.

The College mourns the death of John O'Leary last Thursday after a long battle with cancer. John was a first day student in the College and also a member of the teaching staff. He then became a Dept. of Education (later NEPS) psychologist and was a great friend both professionally and personally to the College. He was a regular speaker for the Parent Teacher Association and a rugby referee in the College. His funeral is on Tuesday 10th April at 10 am in St. John the Evangelist Church in Ballinteer. The College flag flies at half-mast in his honour. We extend our sympathies to his wife Noreen and to his family, especially to his son Cathal, who is also a past pupil.
