THERE’S been plenty of activity at Presentation Secondary School Tralee lately, as the junior cycle pupils get into the new subject of ‘Wellbeing’.

In the first term of school, the PE Department has always organised outdoor trips for new groupings where well established community links are utilised. Pupils in 2nd, 4th and 5th year have an opportunity to master life-skills through physical activity in outdoor settings.

In the past couple of weeks the students have been in Cappanalea Outdoor Centre, Banna beach and Ballyseedy to experience orienteering, kayaking, surfing and team building challenges.

In the orienteering, Presentation Secondary School Tralee came 1st of many schools. The names of the groups that qualified them as winners were Saoirse Glavin and Ciara Sharp class 2K, Aine Hannafin and Shauna Moriarty class 2K, Sadbh Lowth and Alive O’Connell class 2L, group of three Cara Grealish 2L, Adra Kongjoni 2L and Alazne Sertuxta 2K and finally Maja Duzinkiewicz and Wiktoria Depta class 2L.

Last Friday before the mid-term break, there was a cheerleading exercise under the instruction of Cassie Leen where the girls showed off their co-ordinated moves. This was followed by a basketball tournament in the gym.  So the new subject of ‘Wellbeing’ is clearly proving popular with students and teachers.
