SCHOOL EXCHANGE.

In November 1989 the fifth and sixth class pupils of Inchicronan Central School received an invitation to attend a gathering of European schools (SCOLA) which was to take place in the city of Rennes, the capital of Brittany in France. For the occasion they were hosted by families in the town of Thorigne/Fouillard (close to Rennes) and the following Easter, children from Thorigne were welcomed in Crusheen where they stayed with families of the fifth and sixth classes.

The arrangement continued every two years until 1996 when Thorigne - Fouillard twinned with Lusk in Co. Dublin. From then on the town Council in Thorigne /Fouillard wished all school visits to involve schools in Lusk.

This was an outstanding educational experience for all those who took part and resulted in the publication, by the Clare Education Centre, of a booklet and video covering most aspects of the venture.

 

AS TO THE FUTURE, WE ARE OPEN TO OFFERS!!!
