"The trip to Rome was no doubt the most amazing, spectacular, extraordinary and magnificent experience that anyone would have the great fortune of having." Turlough Eccles (5th Year)

"Around every corner, there was something new to see. Be it the Forum, the Colosseum, the Pantheon or a different gelato shop." Alice Murphy, (6th Year)

"We were always finding something new and amazing around every corner. For me the highlight was forgetting my shirt for the formal dinner and having to a buy a priest's shirt outside the Vatican City and then wear it to our formal dinner." Tim Cullen, (5th Year)

"One of the best times of my life. Going to a place I've wanted to be since I was small, with my friends and teachers. Had a blast, learned plenty and have many memories." Jake Long, (5th Year)

"Ms. Donohoe and Ms. Mahon brought the 5th and 6th Classics classes to Rome on the 23rd February. Our four days were filled with interesting tours and sites such as the Flavian Amphitheatre, the Vatican, the Pantheon, Hadrian's Villa and the Ara Pacis Museum." Ciara Harrison, (5th Year)
