Many of our P7 pupils spent last Tuesday and Wednesday in Carlingford, County Louth, on their ‘Leavers’ Residential’.

It was action-packed from the outset! After arriving in Carlingford town early on Tuesday morning, they made their way to Carlingford Adventure Centre, their base for the next two days. Here, they were introduced to the team of instructors, as well as their itinerary for the next couple of days. 

On the first day, the group took part in kayaking across Carlingford Lough, as well as playing laser tag in Slieve Foye Forest. After their dinner, the group returned to Slieve Foye Forest to toast s'mores on their dusk campfire, which they helped to build! They finished off their evening with takeaways, treats, and plenty of craic with their friends!

On day two, the group got straight to action after a hearty breakfast, using their problem-solving skills to create their own water rafts before testing them out on Carlingford Lough, with the stunning scenery of the Cooley Peninsula as their backdrop. After enjoying their lunch, the group spent their afternoon in ‘Sky Park’, where they undertook the high ropes challenge and scaled the heights with wonderful enthusiasm. Everyone took on their activities with eager determination and commendable enthusiasm, which was fantastic to see!

From start to finish, it was an unforgettable experience for all of the group and memories they will cherish for many years to come. Well done, Primary 7!
