We welcomed Education Minister, Caitriona Ruane, to our European Day of Languages. She made an excellent contribution herself, speaking both Spanish and Irish fluently. However, she also met our speakers of German and French on the day. Equally important visitors were four of our feeder primary schools, who took part in and International Storytelling session, performing in French, German, Spanish and Irish for an audience of their teachers, the Minister, each other and our Shimna students. The Minister then had time to call into the huge languages table quiz underway in the hall, where she was full of praise for all the language work she had heard. She had a chance to have a look at the display of European badges and posters contributed by our students, before the prize giving got underway. Enthusiastic answers took us up to bus time. We have a wonderful languages department and wonderful students all round.
