This programme supports the learning outcomes of curricular areas such as ‘Wellbeing’, PE, SPHE and co-curricular initiatives such as Gaisce Adventure Journey.
Training ratios for participating schools are 1:8. The 8 selected TrailSeekers will receive practical and theoretical training aligned with Mountaineering Ireland’s Happy Hiking- Hill Skills Series.
These students will be encouraged to take on greater leadership roles in the planning of any related activity within the broader school community and to operate in a manner that is safe, responsible and respectful of our outdoor, upland environment.
As MI members, participating students will have the opportunity to pursue more formal training pathways; support will also be provided for establishing a club where there is an interest.
