The Killarney Town Twinning Association (KTTA) and their partners in Pleinfeld, Bavaria, have achieved a long-term goal of setting up a student exchange between local schools.

With the help of St Brendan's College principal Sean Coffey and German teacher Angela Daly, the exchange program began this year.
Before Christmas, students from St Brendan's College and St Brigid's Secondary School spent a week with students from Gymnasium College in Roth, Germany. They were accompanied by teachers Angela Daly and Clive O'Sullivan.
This week, the German students are in Killarney, staying with the Irish students' families. They are spending the week studying, sightseeing, and enjoying time together. Their teachers, Christina Muller and Ralph Gieselmann, are also visiting.
Josef Miehling, Chairperson of the Pleinfeld Twinning Association, and Sean Counihan, Chairperson of KTTA, both expressed their delight at the successful collaboration, which was years in the making.
