The Delphi trip is always one of the major highlights of TY! The TYs are currently in Delphi in Co. Mayo for four days - Monday, 4th September through to Thursday, 7th September. On day 1 they were out kayaking and over the days will experience many different outdoor adventure sports. Thanks to Ms. Finnegan for organising and for Ms. Corrigan to sharing the experience too. See the 2017-2018 gallery for more photos. TY students, Ross Smith and Laura Kelly describe their experiences.
Delphi was an amazing experience that I look back on with fond memories. Our class really bonded and we made memories that we will never forget. We went kayaking, pier jumping and bog jumping to name a few. But looking back the best bit of the whole trip was the time I spent with friends over dinner, lunch and breakfast. It was a brilliant trip and thanks to everyone involved.
