TY Weekly: Going for Gold at our Bushy Park Scavenger Hunt

TY 1st Year Scavenger Hunt 28 Aug2026 2
NEWS / 31 August 2026

On a blissful Friday afternoon, the 28th of August, our Transition Year and First Year students got treated to a bonding trip at Bushy Park where they took part in a scavenger hunt. This adventure allowed our students to enhance their collaboration and teamwork skills, while spending quality time with their peers.

From going out into nature in the search for various items to designing collages with their very own team pictures, this day created a delightful experience for both our senior and junior students. Everyone worked attentively together as a promised prize was on the line for the team with the best collage. As the afternoon flew to an end, students made their way back to school with their completed collages and plenty of new memories. 

Huge thanks to our wonderful teachers, Ms. Finnegan and Ms. Gower, for organising the scavenger hunt, accompanying our students and making this day possible.
