Located in the heart of Dublin City Centre, Christ Church was originally a Viking church and has been welcoming pilgrims and visitors for almost 1,000 years. Dig a little deeper to find the crypt, the city’s oldest working structure, or climb higher into our belfry and discover our world-famous bells. Hidden treasures are waiting to be discovered around every corner: Strongbow’s final resting place, the heart of St. Laurence O’Toole, a rare copy of the Magna Carta and our famous mummified cat and rat. Come on a journey of discovery in the spiritual heart of Dublin city centre. Sign up for this event at school reception.

Can you make a new friend in just a few minutes? We think you can! Speed friending is an icebreaker activity that involves chatting and it is a great way to meet other students at the school (not just your classmates). Get into the game and join us for this great friend-making event. Sign up at reception. Check with reception for classroom location. Activity starts at 14:00.

A short meeting to welcome the new students to the school, to explain how the language classes operate, how to buy a bus ticket for Dublin and how to join the social programme at the school etc. So, if you have just arrived this weekend, please come along to room 3 building 40 Fitzwilliam Street Upper, starting at 13:15.

Explore Dublin’s beloved Cathedral! Saint Patrick was said to have come here many years ago which is why we have the St. Patrick’s Cathedral today to honour his memory. Inside the Cathedral you will find some of Ireland’s finest examples of Gothic architecture. Highlights include the magnificent stained-glass windows, the organ boasting more than 4,000 pipes and the expansive Bell Tower. Come along and join us as we explore one of Dublin’s greatest treasures. Sign-up for this event at the school’s reception.
