Boker Lads in Flight of Fancy!!
April 2013
Thirty students drawn from the 1st and 2nd years in Coláiste
Éamonn Rís visited Brussels, Maastricht and Paris during their Easter Holidays
from the 1st to the 5th of April. They were accompanied by their teachers: Mr
David Byrne, Mrs Linda Scallan and Ms Niele Kavanagh.
This exciting excursion to the European Space Centre. Brussels,
saw the boys travel to Outer Space on simulated spacecraft. The intrepid Boker
boys zoomed through the darkness, passing by all the Stars and Planets. Other
activities included the building and launching of rockets.
Outings during the trip included an exciting visit to the local
Forest Adventure Centre, where the lads took part in outdoor pursuits, climbing
rope bridges and whizzing across high wires. The chaps also visited
the town of Maastricht in the Netherlands for a souvenir-buying trip. A visit
to Disneyland, Paris, afforded the opportunity to parade with classic
Disney characters and to fly high in the Star-Wars-themed flight simulator.
Visits were made to Pocahontas' Indian Village in Frontierland, with
its ochre-coloured pueblos.
Certificates of Participation were presented to the thirty lads
by School Principal, Mr Michael McMahon, to acknowledge the hard work and good
behavior of the students during the trip.
