This year's annual school walk, organised by the 5th Year LCVP class on Monday, 27th April, was in aid of the Irish Heart Foundation. The school walk involves walking 10km of the Wicklow Way.1st and 2nd Year students, Greg Brenner, Jakob Miller and Shimi Tillman recount their experiences of the day.
A lot of the walk was uphill and felt a lot longer than 10km. There were great views and narrow paths.
Greg Brenner (1st Year)
When we started the walk it seemed like it would go on forever but when we got into it, it wasn't as bad as everyone thought. The views were lovely and it was a great walk.
Jakob Miller (1st Year)
As the walk began, climbing wasn't as hard as I had heard. By the summit I felt the effort in every step, so it was very relaxing when we finished.
Shimi Tillman (2nd Year)

The TY Horticulture class were out in the Autumn sunshine planting Spring bulbs using the chaos planting method. This is when a multitude of different spring bulbs (Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Crocuses, Narcissi) are mixed together and randomly planted so that we have a mixture of flowers and patterns emerging in the spring. It mimics nature and so is more enticing to pollinators and native insects that need the food in Spring.
