The girls excelled themselves today. Although they were nervous they embraced the chance to be part of the school day in Notre Dame. We were welcomed by the tricolor flying and a cead mile failte banner and the beating of drums. Everyone introduced themselves, everyone shook hands - all very formal and proper. A quick tour of thr compound and the girls went to their individual classrooms. Jenny to science, lucy and maria to business and clare and rachel to arts. All students are divided into these 3 areas in which they chose 4 electives as well as 4 common core subjects.The girls were major hits and made many friends on day 1 and answered many questions about their own lives and no doubt more will continue tomorrow
In the afternoon a drumming and a dancing teacher arrived and to the general hilarity of our bus drivers and any passers -by we deemed to keep a beat and strut our stuff. Lets just say some succeeded better than others without naming names... A thoroughly exhausting and thoroughly fun time.
This evening dinner was at the kind invitation of the Notre Dame sisters in their home, lovely conversation and sharing of school systems and structures.
Got a great laugh from this update. Wish we were there!! Best of luck with the rest of the school week.
