Arriving in Dublin
We strongly recommend that you apply for Airport arrival transfer if you are travelling alone. One of our staff or contracted taxi drivers will pick you up at the airport.
The Meeting Point is in front of 'Airport Information' and we will be holding a 'student name card'.
We will then take you to the Host family, where you will be given a warm welcome!
Over the first few days, your Host family will talk over things like evening meal times, how to get to School, exchange mobile telephone numbers to be able to keep in touch and show you the nearest bus stop to School and the city centre. If you are not sure about anything, don't hesitate to ask your Host family.
