This year's school walk was in aid of Greenpeace and was organised by the 5th Year LCVP students along with the TY students. It was held on Wednesday, 18th May. 2nd Year student, Ross Smith, writes an account of his day walking 10 km along the Wicklow Way.
This year I really enjoyed the school walk. It was a lot of fun. Last year I set a goal that I would not be at the back and this year I wasn't so I was very happy with myself. It was a great day enjoyed by all and I can't wait for next year's walk. For more photographs see the 2015-2016 web gallery.
