Ashton School students Brendan Morris and Marcus Fitzgibbon, winners of the Post Primary Language Initiative competition, winning themselves and their teacher, Olan Geaney a week’s language scholarship in Salamanca in Spain, studying Spanish in a dedicated language school. This is Ashton School’s third time winning the competition, open to all 5th year students of Spanish nationwide, and involved the filming and editing of a Spanish language video in which students highlighted the attractions of Spain’s “Castilla y León ” region.

A superb win.
