On Friday May 24th the boys and staff of Scoil Phàdraig travelled to Cobh for our school tour. We visited the Titanic Experience where boys learned all about the ship and its passengers. We then travelled by ferry to Spike Island where we learned all about the history of Mitchell’s Fort. We also took part in an army training drill, team building games and assault course. A great tour was rounded off with a trip to Super Macs where chips and ice cream went down a treat.
