Flashback to end of 2025 where participants took part in our Sports and Fitness Pathways, engaging in a range of hands-on experiences across Irish sports, surfing, and sailing to learn more about the different roles in the industry.
Through structured sessions and outdoor excursions, participants built confidence, fitness, and teamwork while connecting with culture, nature, and each other.
Across the program, they developed:
✔️ Irish sports fundamentals. Learning the basic rules and skills of hurling and Gaelic football, with a focus on hand–eye coordination, passing, kicking, and teamwork.
✔️ Surfing and ocean confidence. Taking part in a swim and surf lesson at Bondi Beach, applying ocean safety knowledge, practising swimming in open water, and experiencing surfing under guided instruction.
✔️ Sailing skills and leadership. Engaging in a hands-on sailing experience with Winds of Joy, learning basic sailing techniques while building confidence, teamwork, and leadership, and gaining insight into the role of a sailing instructor.
✔️ Fitness, wellbeing, and reflection. Improving general fitness, mobility, water confidence, and connection with the natural environment, supported by reflection and portfolio updates.
By leading their learning across diverse physical activities, participants strengthened their confidence, teamwork, and independence. We’re proud of the effort and growth they demonstrated throughout the term!
