Visitors from Ireland

For quite some time, Steinmühle had been looking for a way to set up an exchange program with a school in the British Isles in addition to its U.S. exchange program. Now, St. Augustine’s, a school comparable in size to ours in Dungarvan (a small town of about 10,000 residents on the southeastern coast of Ireland)!

For the first time, a two-week exchange is taking place, involving 10 Irish and 10 German 10th-grade students. The Irish students are currently visiting and are doing their very best to put their German language skills (acquired over five years of study) into practice. The return visit to Dungarvan will take place before or during the fall break. We hope that many more exchanges like this will follow! CE’AD MILE FAILTE!
