Tramore Students Visit Kilkenny Adventure Centre
We went to Kilkenny Adventure Centre with L.C.A 1 and L.C.A
2 as a group. This was our second time going to the adventure
centre this year. Since we had such a great time. We bonded
very well and learned some new skills to work in a group.
The first activity that we did was bubble soccer. Bubble Soccer Is
playing football in a bubble, it protects your whole body so you
can’t get hurt. It was great fun, we all enjoyed our self’s. We got
a quick shower of rain but that did not ruin the day. It was more
fun as the ground got more slippy and muddy.
We jumped straight into the obstacle course. We were Split
into two groups. We bonded together and communicated to
complete the obstacle course.
The main objective of the course was to communicate with our
team mates. Take our time, listen and follow instructions was
the key to winning. The most enjoyable part of the course was
when we had to run jump and climb obstacles. That lead to
a small jump into mucky water it was easy to run through. At
the end of the course there was a water slide. The water slide
was very fun. We then got a group photo all together. We then
headed back to get changed and then got on the bus and went
home. We really enjoyed ourselves, especially as Year Two were
leaving Youthreach to start their Leaving Certificate soon. It was
great to do some bonding with them before they left and we all
finished for summer. We would recommend this as a great fun
activity for families or groups of friends.
Transforum Alley Youthreach
The Transforum Alley (TA) Youthreach Sports Council met before the
summer programme started to discuss the things that would be fun to do
during Active Centre Week. Lots of ideas were talked about and these ideas
were brought to our P.E. teacher Ciara, who decided what was realistic and
affordable. The week was a huge success and these are a few of the best
things we did that week.
• Scuba Diving in Castlegregory
• Open water trampling
• Surfing with Splashsports
• Boxing classes with Tralee Boxing Club
• A Pool tournament for the TA students
During the year, a big part of the TA Sports Council was to organise fitness
testing for the entire group. From the start of the year until the end of the
year, fitness tests were done regularly so everyone could see their progress.
Transforum Alley has a fitness testing hall of fame for the past 9 years. It is
very hard to get on it but if you do it is a great achievement. Sport is a big
part of our programme and all the students really enjoyed and benefited
from it.
As part of our Sports programme TA take part in a Mile Challenge throughout
the year. This involves being timed to sprint, run, jog or walk really fast
a mile. We have started up again this year and everyone is looking forward
to beating their time.
The sports council have met as a team and have decided what new things
we can include on our programme this year.
