Transition Project
As part of a young leaders programme in partnership with Mercy Secondary, we took 4th & 5th years away to Carlingford for team building activities to prepare for being young people to support 1st years in their transition to secondary school in September. They took part in crystal maze, team building, archery, axe throwing and high ropes.
