Year 12 Irish students visit Queen’s University

October 16, 2019

As part of the continued work with the Language Ambassador Programme, our Year 12 Irish students visited Queen’s University for an Immersion day.

Students got a tour of campus and attended a talk on ‘Language and Culture’ with Dr. Marcas MacCoinnigh, as well as a session about taking a language as a beginner with Dr. Maria Travares.

They also met up with some past pupils who are now studying languages at QUB and were volunteering their services.

Thaitin an lá go mór leis na scoláirí agus fuair siad blaisín beag de shaol na hollscoile.

St Paul’s High School is a thriving, innovative educational community of almost 1500 students of all abilities, from children with learning difficulties in our Learning Support Centre to high calibre academic achievers in our AS, A2 and Applied Post-16 courses. All classrooms are equipped as standard with interactive whiteboards, and students and staff are encouraged to make the fullest use of technology for learning and teaching.

The school, which was established in 1966 with the aim of providing its pupils with a Christian education within the Catholic ethos, is situated on a modern campus in pleasant rural surrounding in the townland of Carrickbracken, County Armagh. St Paul’s High School was designated by the Department of Education as a Specialist College for Science in 2008, and the school was awarded the BECTA ICT Mark in 2009.
