On 10 February 2023, 81 pupils and 8 staff departed from Dublin airport with Seefeld, Austria their destination for the week.  Pupils had a fun week learning to ski, visiting the beautiful town of Seefeld and enjoying apres ski with their friends.  Lifelong memories have been made as pupils progressed from the magic carpet in the nursery slopes to weaving between the trees on the blue and red slopes of the picturesque mountains.  A highlight each day was catching the mountain train to the lunch stop and taking in the panoramic views and of course sampling the local cuisine… or opting for chicken goujons each day!!  A special thanks to the teaching staff and medics who gave up their time to accompany the pupils.

Some comments from our pupils:

I loved the ski trip. It was such a great way to spend more time with friends and meet new people.

The ski instructors and the resort were amazing.

The skiing was great fun as the teachers were involved and we were always with friends.

The instructors were very kind and helpful. The hotel was nice.

I loved the nuggets and the ski instructor.

I loved the first time I went on the chair lift up to the bigger slope which was so much fun.

We got to go swimming at an Austrian hotel . We could see the stars from an outdoor pool and go on a water slide.

I thought the ski trip was amazing but the boots were uncomfortable. I thought the staff were amazing.
