Ms. Finnegan brought the TY students to Delphi on Monday, 7th September for the start of their four-day adventure sports week. Congratulations to all the TYs on their Junior Certificate results which they received while they were in Delphi. TY student, Sam O'Brien, recounts the week.
Delphi was an amazing trip. It pushed everyone to get out of their comfort zone and try new things, but it brought the whole class together and everyone really bonded.
