mr o' neill's erasmus trip to florence

2/5/2025

 
My trip to Florence was an unforgettable experience, combining learning, culture, and new friendships. I attended a course on Artificial Intelligence, where we explored tools like ChatGPT, Meta’s AI platforms, and many other emerging technologies. The course was both engaging and eye-opening, giving me a deeper understanding of how AI is shaping our world. I was joined by a diverse group of participants from Lithuania, Estonia, Hungary, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and Greece. It was inspiring to share ideas and learn alongside people from so many different backgrounds.Outside the classroom, Florence offered a stunning backdrop to our studies. The city is rich in history and beauty. We visited the iconic Duomo, with its impressive dome by Brunelleschi and intricate facade. The Uffizi Gallery was another highlight—seeing masterpieces by Botticelli, Michelangelo, and Leonardo da Vinci in person was breathtaking. We also wandered through the narrow streets of the historic center, crossed the Ponte Vecchio, and enjoyed panoramic views from Piazzale Michelangelo.
Florence is also a paradise for food lovers. I had the chance to try traditional Tuscan dishes like ribollita (a hearty vegetable soup), pappa al pomodoro (tomato and bread soup), and the famous Florentine steak. The gelato was some of the best I’ve ever tasted, and every meal was a celebration of local flavor.
This trip was more than just a course—it was a cultural exchange, a chance to explore one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, and a step forward in my understanding of AI. I came back with new skills, lasting memories, and friendships that span across Europe. Florence left a lasting impression on me, both professionally and personally.

Erasmus Visit to Las Palmas, Gran Canaria

Ms. Walsh, Mr. O’Donoghue, and Ms. McKenna recently took part in an Erasmus visit to a primary school in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria. During their time there, they observed lessons, exchanged teaching ideas with staff, and gained insight into the Spanish education system. They also had the chance to interact with students and learn about the school’s approach to learning and classroom activities.
The visit provided a valuable opportunity to explore different teaching methods and build connections with educators in another European country. Outside of the school, they also had the chance to experience the culture of Las Palmas, making it a rewarding and enriching trip. The teachers look forward to applying what they learned to their own classrooms and sharing their experiences with colleagues.

job shadowing in rosolini, sicily

24/6/2024

 
Ms Davey and Ms T. Reilly recently completed a week of job shadowing in the town of Rosolini, on the island of Sicily. The school they visited had a kindergarten, primary school and middle school in one building. They got to experience a typical day in a Sicilian school. This included observing teachers in various class levels, meeting the Principal, conversing with the children, telling them about St. Ronan's and showing them our school website. They were very lucky to accompany the drama group to watch their annual performance of a Greek Tragedy in an outer amphitheatre high in the mountains. It was very interesting to note the similarities and differences in our educations systems.
