The girls are allowed to Galway (Fifty Miles from the School) at intervals as deemed suitable. They are accompanied by a Supervisor and travel by bus in a group. Should students be invited to the homes of Irish girls, Parents must give permission for this, directly to the Headmistress. Such visits take place at the short school breaks, i.e. Mid-term end of October and in the second term, mid February. Pocket money must be kept in the Students’ File in the School Office, or lodged in the Travel Bank and withdrawn weekly. All travel arrangements are parents’/Guardians’ responsibility but students may be met at the Airport by a member of Staff.
