Transition Year Activities

Big Little Treasure Hunt

Next the boys ventured into St Stephen's Green to
take on the “Big Little Treasure Hunt”, a scavenger
hunt through Stephen’s Green and the city, chal-
lenging students to work together to solve clues
and complete tasks in order to uncover hidden
gems and lesser-known historical landmarks. A very
pleasant, fun, yet competitive afternoon was had
by all, not to mention the many historical lessons
learned about Dublin's most famous Georgian
Square.

Belfast

Next up was a fantastic day trip up to Belfast. First stop was the Titanic Quarter where they got to
explore the famous docklands and learn a little about Belfast’s ship building history.
Then the lads had great fun exploring the W5 Science Experience and the mad scientists among
them got to put their knowledge to the test.
Finally they were treated to a guided Black Taxi Tour of Belfast, including The Shankill Rd, The
Falls Rd, Bombay Street, and the city’s many Political Murals. They even got to leave their own
message on the Peace Walls - a fantastically interactive way to learn about the Northern Ireland
Troubles!
