A train trip to Waterford
On Tuesday the 16th of December the staff and students of Killusty N.S. made their way by train to Winterville in Waterford city. As the winter sun shone, our outing commenced with a very scenic train trip from Clonmel train station to Waterford. While in the city, we enjoyed some indoor shopping and also some browsing at the market stalls. A twirl on the carousel and a delicious lunch was enjoyed by all.
