RE: TY Trip To Gougane Barra
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
The first TY trip of the year will take place on Friday October 2nd, 2020. This trip will involve a hike, with the aim to take the Slí na Sléibhe walk (taking approximately 2 hours to complete) at Gougane Barra. The region is mountainous and therefore students must wear suitable outdoor clothing and footwear. Due to the upland nature of the region, rain is very likely an outdoor jacket is required. Students must bring a packed lunch with them and a bottle of water. Students will attend their first class from 8.55am, attendance will be taken and students will leave the school by private bus around 9.30am.
Prior to the trip is it important the online permission form is filled out and submitted, click here.

- Students must keep a distance on the hike of at least 1 metre between each student
- Students will be supplied with hand sanitiser when needed or alternatively students can bring their own hand sanitiser with them on the trip
