The Ski tour to Bulgaria has been a regular feature since 1979. The opportunity to try one of the most enjoyable winter sports is often one of the biggest highlights of a students time in the Louis.

Not only is tour to Bulgaria one that the girls can benefit from the activities themselves, there has been an added humanitarian aspect for many years.In the above photo the girls are preparing to pack various item for an orphanage in Bulgaria quite near the resort of Pamporovo. Many children not so lucky as the students from our school gain from urgently needed medicine,clothing, footwear collected by the students and their parents in the weeks prior to the tour. In cooperation with the Rotary Club of Monaghan town it is hoped to continue this contact and build on it to make more of a contributation to the orphanage.
