The Transition Years completed their adventure journey in Skibereen, Co. Cork. They planned, prepared and fundraised to complete a 2 day, 1 night adventure journey covering distance of 25km.
The adventure walk was based around Irelands first Natural Marine Reserve Lough Hyne. This marine lake is fed from the sea by a narrow tidal channel known as ‘The Rapids’. This unique lake and its surrounds are home to a rich and varied range of plants and animals, including many rare and beautiful species. Since it was ‘discovered’ by marine biologists in 1886, scientists have carried out pioneering research in experimental ecology. Their continued research into the factors governing the distributions of marine animals and plants make Lough Hyne one of the most- studied marine sites of Europe.

Hazelwood College Transition Year students recently took part in a workshop entitled “SongSchool”. The Songschool workshop gave students a first hand insight into life as a professional songwriter / musician and an overview of song writing and the music business. Students wrote, performed and recorded their own songs during the workshop.
Recently Hazelwood College students collected money through a non-uniform day. €450 was donated to the Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) charity, which arranges screenings of those considered at risk from cardiac arrest. Pictured are (left to right) Claire Scanlon, Amanda Collins (Transition Year), Becky Ryan (Sixth Year), Marie Herlihy and Brendan Burke (Principal of Hazelwood College). Amanda Collins and Becky Ryan present the cheque to Marie Herlihy and Claire Scanlon of CRY in the presence of their principal, Mr Brendan Burke.
Hazelwood College students present Deirdre Downey, of Irish Sudden Infant Cot Death Association, with a cheque of €450 after their non-uniform day (left to right) Kelly Doody, Ciara Purcell, Deirdre Downey, Antony Mckenzie, Eoin Donegan and Principal Brendan Burke. Hazelwood College students were canvassed to find out which charities they wanted to donate the proceeds to and the students chose to split the money collected between the Irish Sudden Infant Cot Death Association and CRY.
Hazelwood College second year Home Economics students visited Lios Na Si Broadford Community Child Care Centre to learn about child development and education for their Junior Certificate Home Economics projects. As a token of appreciation from the students who participated in the visit, Edel Curtis (left), of Lios Na Si Broadford, was presented with a thank you card and buns on behalf of the staff from Shania Hanlon (centre) and Brigid Kiely (right).
