In June & July last summer, 47 students from Fourth & Fifth Year in St.Mary’s College C.S.Sp. travelled to Ghana as past of intensive training in Development Education. Hosted by the West African Province of the Holy Ghost Fathers, the Irish students completed a concentrated 14-day programme designed to prepare them to form part of the leadership team for third world education amongst their peers at school. The Ghana Immersion Project has been an integral feature of St.Mary’s College since 2004.

In March 2011, 18 students, 3 teachers and the Rector from St.James’ Secondary School, Sunyani, Ghana visited St.Mary’s College. They spent two weeks in Ireland. This is a testament to the wonderful links and friendship that has developed between our two schools.
