Transition Year










         Big Little Treasure Hunt

         Next  the  TYs  ventured  into  St  Stephen's
         Green  to  take  on  the  “Big Little Treasure
         Hunt”,  a  history  facts  scavenger  hunt
         through  Stephen’s  Green  and  the  city,
         challenging  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.

         Irish Dancing

         A group of our TYs truly got into the spirit
         of  Seachtain na Gaeilge  this  year,  as  they
         put  on their  dancing  brogues  and learned
         some  Irish  Dancing.  They  learned  four
         dances  -  the  Walls  of  Limerick,  Shoe  the
         Donkey  and  the  Siege  of  Ennis  and  An
         Dreoilín. All of this practice paid off as they
         went  on  to  teach  the  dances  to  our  1st
         Year students in a great, fun-filled event!
