Experience boarding life at Glenstal Abbey School - Taster Weekend for fifth class
Boys starting secondary school in September 2023 are invited to stay in the school's Norman castle on the 4-5 June, to learn about boarding life at Glenstal Abbey School in Murroe, Co Limerick.
Post-pandemic, boarding life at one of Ireland's most distinguished schools is gradually returning to normal. The school's new headmaster, Marius Carney, announcing the Taster Weekend, said: “Our visiting boys will have the opportunity to explore the castle and grounds, take part in learning experiences with our teachers, meet some students and staff, try different sports and arts activities, have a banquet and sleep over in our student dorm accommodation. On Sunday we will all go to Mass together and they will meet some of the monks of Glenstal.
"Parents are invited to accompany their children for the first session and have the opportunity to meet the headmaster and members of the team at Glenstal and have a tour of the school.”
