Trips

Image result for delphi adventure resort-My year went on an overnight trip to Delphi Adventure Centre in Mayo last October. We did lots of activities but my favourites were the midnight walk and the high ropes. Overall it was good fun.

-My Spanish class went on a trip in December to the Irish Film Institute where we saw a Spanish film and then we went to a Spanish restaurant for tapas.

-I went on a trip to the RDS in February with some female students from my school for a talk on promoting women in the STEM subjects. It was really good.

-My Law class went on a trip to the Dublin criminal courts of justice in March. We first met with a barrister who explained how the courts worked and we got to act out a mock trial in a courtroom. Then we got to sit in on a murder trial which was so interesting.

As part of my school's TY programme you have to do voluntary work. I volunteer at the St. Vincent De Paul charity shop on Saturday mornings.
