Me and my TY year group went to the Newgrange lodge as our bonding trip, Thursday the 1st of September. That morning we met at the school at 9am before getting the bus. When we got there we were split into groups to take turns doing different activities. First thing my group did was kayaking it was my favorite activity during the trip ! We then eat lunch they served us chicken and chips and it was the nicest meal ever especially because we were all so hungry. Our group then went rock climbling and paintballing. We once again swapped over to do an obstacle course and a few bonding games. That night after dinner we had a movie might but the movie was so bad that some of us just went back to our rooms for the night before going down to get a late night snack. The next morning we got up at 8am for breakfast there toast and pancakes. We then went back to our rooms, some of us went back asleep til we had to check out at half 10. We were split up into different groups again to do more activities such as orientation, survival guide (showing us to make fire) and more bonding games, we also got lunch in between before heading back to the school to go home at half 3. Personally i enjoyed the trip a lot and found it very good for getting to know other girls better and talk to people i haven't during previous years in mercy and i feel more comfortable with them would highly recommend they bring TYs there for induction every year as it was just an amazing experience overall !!
