Transition Year - Adventure Trip

On the 16th of April 2007, around 80 transition year students went to Achill Outdoor Educational Centre for one week on an annual trip. Groups of ten students took part in both land and water activities e.g. Surfing, rock climbing, canoeing, orienteering and other various sports.

                              Every night two groups of students went out and hiked 25km to complete their ‘Gaisce’ award, for this they had to pitch tents, cook a meal and set up a camp fire. It was tough work but everyone completed it.

Mr. Penny drove up to Achill to do some Geography fieldwork. This was a practice for the Leaving Cert course, it was very interesting and enjoyed by all involved.

  This trip is a great chance for students to learn about teamwork and independence .We all learnt different skills and more about ourselves. 

A HUGE THANK YOU to all the teachers that came with us, Ms Callender, Mr. McCrohan, Mr. Atkinson, Mr. Penny and Ms Redfern and the instructors who made the trip worthwhile.
