The new first year group recently travelled to Cappanalea Outdoor Education Centre in Co. Kerry as part of a team building and bonding week. Over the course of the week 104 First Year students and their Transition Year mentors spent three days and two nights participating in a wide variety of games and activities.
While there they took part in Hill-Walking, Orienteering, Kayaking, Rock Climbing, Abseiling and other Team Building Games and Challenges. The purpose of the trip is to give the new first years an oppourtunity to bond with their many new class mate who have come from a wide variety of backgrounds and areas. Secondly the trip through the use of the transition year mentors gives the school a good insight into how well the students are settling into their new environment.
