EACH YEAR JAMES'S STREET HAS TWO SCHOOL TOURS, ONE OVERSEAS AND
THE OTHER WITHIN IRELAND. LAST YEAR (1999) SEVENTY STUDENTS AND SEVEN
TEACHERS WENT TO PARIS AND SPAIN. WE ALSO WENT TO AQUA BOULAVARD
AND THE DISNEYLAND THEME PARK. WHEN IN BARCELONA WE VISITED PORT
AVENTURA, NEW CAMP STADIUM AND HAD A STROLL DOWN "LA RAMBLAS".
THIS YEAR IN APRIL WE ARE HEADING TO PARIS AGAIN.

SO WATCH THIS SPACE

MUSIC HAS BEEN INTRODUCED INTO THE SCHOOL FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS.
EACH CHRISTMAS WE HAVE A SCHOOL CONCERT WHERE THE BOYS CAN
DISPLAY THEIR MANY MUSICAL AND ACTING SKILLS, ONE OF OUR STUDENTS
WILL APPEAR ON THE NEW SERIES OF "BARRYMORE " ON UTV. WE HAVE A
BALLAD GROUP TAKING PART IN "SCòR NA NòG " SINGING IN IRISH.

THE BOYS LEARN THE TIN WHISTLE AND GUITAR OUTSIDE SCHOOL EVERY
WEDNESDAY. THIS YEAR A MUSIC TEACHER HAS BEEN EMPLOYED IN THE
