What a way to kick-start Transition Year!

September 21, 2026

Our Transition Year students headed into the city on Tuesday, 8th September, for their first trip of what promises to be a fantastic year ahead!

Travelling together by train, the students made their way to HQ20 on the Liffey Quays, where they took to the water for a day packed with adventure. From rowing and kayaking to katakanus and hydro bikes, they explored the River Liffey from a whole new perspective . They even got the chance to see some of Dublin’s iconic bridges from below! 

The day was about much more than adventure. Through teamwork on the water, students worked together, supported one another and strengthened new friendships. They also enjoyed a heritage tour of famous sites along the quays, particularly the Customs House, before taking part in a treasure hunt, discovering the fascinating history and heritage of Dublin’s quayside, even bumping into a friendly Viking.

A brilliant day of teamwork, bonding, adventure and heritage, and a fantastic start to what promises to be a memorable Transition Year! 

Here’s to a great year ahead! 💙
