First year students accompanied by their Transition Year mentors recently completed two three day bonding sessions at Cappanalea Outdoor Education Centre. While at the centre students participated in a number of activities including: Hillwalking, Kayaking, Rock Climbing, Abseiling, Orienteering, and a number of Team Building Activities including a new activity for Hazelwood College, Blind Orienteering, in which blind folded teams of six had to navigate an obstacle course in the dark. The group with the largest volume remaining in a cup held by one of the team members at the end was the winning team

Our students really performed amazingly this year. They really did their parents and the staff of Hazelwood College proud. While they have dispersed onto different paths, some going to Leaving Certificate Applied, and to Transition Year as well as those who went directly into fifth year, they all have a firm Junior Certificate foundation to work from.
Here are some photographs from the day, more details to follow in later posts.
