TYs celebrated National Walking Day and experienced some of Leitrims treasures on Monday morning by hiking up Sliabh an Iarainn to the Mass Rock and visiting the beautiful Pól an Eas waterfall. 
Today we celebrated Aisling’s achievement and two representatives from Farm Peat Project came to the school for the prize-giving event.
Aisling on this fantastic achievement 
Ms Colum’s TY Science class had a great trip to the ploughing Championships. Lots of sites to see and people to meet. A great day, despite the long journey!
Ms Colum’s Ty, 5th Year Agricultural Science and 1st Year Science classes had a very informative visit to the community Garden recently. The group learned about how food is grown at the site in polytunnels and also learned about the extensive work that is being done to encourage biodiversity around our town. They also got a chance to pick some blackberries to make jam in Home Ec class!! Thanks to kay Maguire for facilitating the visit.
The Tys also had a very informative talk and demonstration from local beekeeper, PJ McLoughlin, where the students leaned about the importance of bees in local ecosystems, as well as some of the practicalities involved in keeping bees. A really informative talk.
TY’s had their Bonding Trip today at Shannon River Adventure Students enjoyed archery, rock climbing, mud sliding, kayaking, pier jumping as well as a number of team games. A great start to what promises to be an action packed TY year! 
Congratulations to the Ty Class, who had their graduation on Thursday, May 26th. Each student spoke to the audience about their experiences in TY, and showed great maturity and confidence to deliver their speeches. This was followed by awards and a slideshow of the highlights of TY 2021/22. Guests were also shown the students eportfolios as a showcase of their year. A great way to draw what has been a very busy school year to a close.

Well done to our TY rowers who took home 3 bronze and a silver medal from the recent indoor rowing competition held in Mohill Sports complex. The event, organised by Leitrim Sports Partnership, was very enjoyable and highly competetive, with teams from Ballinamore CS, Carigallen VS and Mohill CC facing off against each other. Well done all! Particular thanks to Charlene Donnelly from Lough Rinn Sports and recreation Hub for organising the event.
On Wednesday 4th and 5th May the TY group set out on their Gaisce Bronze Award Adventure Journey at Lilliput Adventure Centre in Westmeath. This was an overnight trip where the group had to complete a hike. They also had some additional time to go kayaking, rock-climbing, orienteering and bog-hopping. It’s fair to say the group enjoyed the experience and a lot of great memories were made.
