TY Surfing Trip
Last week out Transition Years visited Tramore for a surfing trip. On Monday the Transition Year students enjoyed a memorable Bonding Day at Our Lady’s Island, where they took part in fun activities promoting friendship, teamwork, and wellbeing, all under beautiful sunshine.
Second Year Retreat
Yesterday our students came together for a day of connection, reflection, and growth. They played team-building games that strengthened collaboration and trust. They learned about kindness and resilience—values that guide us every day. They ended with a calming meditation focused on self-worth and what we truly value.
A meaningful day filled with fun, learning, and community!
