Students Meet with President McAleese
Meeting the President was
highlight of Spanish students' visit
Our Lady's Grammar School
recently hosted a farewell party for several young people from Granada in
southern Spain who had been staying in the area for the previous ten days.
The students, visiting Newry as part of annual Spanish Exchange programme, were
guests of the Year 11 and Year 13 girls from Our Lady's who had visited Granada
at Easter. During their time in Ireland the Spanish students visited the Giant's
Causeway, Stormont and Cultra Folk and Transport Museum and also spent two days
experiencing life in Our Lady's.
The highlight of the visit, however, was a trip to Aras an Uachtarain where they
were welcomed and greeted in Spanish by President Mary McAleese.
