Kennedy College made the most of the facilities New Ross has to offer over the first term of the 2020-2021 academic year by taking part in Transition Year excursions centred around the town and surrounding areas.
Not submitting to the current travel restrictions, Ms Meyler, our Transition Year coordinator, organised a ‘physically distanced’ team building day facilitated by ‘Get West’ on the Kennedy College campus. Students enjoyed archery, target shooting, team-building exercises and hitting the heights of Irelands largest mobile climbing wall.
Our Transition Year students also enjoyed a walking tour of New Ross, facilitated by Myles Courtney, learning about the fascinating history of New Ross and seeing first hand the relics of the past dotted around the town.
In keeping with the spirit of Transition Year in Kennedy College where students get to experience a different way of learning which takes them out of the classroom, Transition year students were ‘gone fishin’ as they enjoyed a day at Oaklands Lake where they learned more about our waterways and their inhabitants.
