Transition Year students had an extra special treat when 3 time Olympian, Thomas Barr, spent the day working with them in a “Develop Me” workshop. The sprint and hurdle athlete is probably best known for being a member of the winning European Championship mixed 4 x 400m relay team. 

Having just retired from athletics in the past 2 weeks he spent the day with Transition Year students developing project management and teamwork skills. The workshop brings experiential learning into the classroom developing skills in teamwork, management and leadership. Super day had by all!
