Transition year pupils visited Butlers chocolate factory on December 2nd with Ms. Cooney and Ms. Clarke. During their visit, pupils were given a tour of the factory and got to view the different sections of the factory floor, showing exactly how the chocolates are made. Pupils were also taught about how chocolate, made from cocoa beans became so popular throughout the world and how a brand like Butlers has marketed and promoted itself.
After students sampled the delicious Butlers chocolates and decorated their own novelty chocolate gift, we made our way to Dundrum for ice-skating. Great fun was had by all and it certainly got everyone into the festive spirit!
On September 26th, transition year pupils visited the Marble Arch Caves. Pupils got to see the various Karst features up close as well as experiencing an outdoor limestone trail.
