Ursula Schule Exchange 17th September 2022 – 24th September 2022
We are delighted to welcome our guest from Ursula Schule to Arklow CBS. We have 10 female students and two teachers staying with us for the week.
After a guided tour of the school, our TY students prepared an Irish breakfast for our guest.

Following Breakfast, our German ladies made history as the first girls to attend classes in Arklow CBS, which certainly made our lads sit up and pay attention.
As Ursula Schule is in the city of Würzburg which is twinned with Co. Wicklow, Arklow Municipal Council organised a civic representing for the group, Leas-Cathaoirleach Pat Kennedy, Councillor Pat Fitzgerald and Councillor Pier Leonard were present and a short presentation was made to the group and as a token of gratitude from the council, they presented a boutique of flowers to Elizabeth Battye on behalf of the school.

With an International mix of dancer from St. Mary’s, Arklow C.B.S. and Ursula Schule, Würzburg. A great evening’s entertainment.
