Some of our TY students had a fantastic day today at the National Ploughing Championships, enjoying the sights, sounds and brilliant atmosphere of one of Ireland’s biggest events!
From the moment they arrived, students were tasked with a scavenger hunt, encouraging them to explore the site, complete different activities and seek out a variety of exhibits. This added a great sense of fun, teamwork and positivity to the day!
Along the way, students experienced the huge variety the Ploughing has to offer from tractors and agricultural machinery, livestock and agri-tech innovations to college and apprenticeship stands, careers, businesses, Irish food producers and plenty of entertainment.
A special highlight for some of our students was getting the opportunity to witness President Connolly officially open the event.
It was a brilliant opportunity for our TY students to explore, learn, discover new interests and enjoy a day out together, while soaking up the unique atmosphere.
A fantastic experience, lots of laughs and plenty of memories made!
