Here at Tallaght Community School, we try to give students as varied an experience as possible. With the support of the school management we were able to purchase mountain bikes for students to participate in an exciting, fun and life affirming experience.
Students are taught advanced mountain biking skills in the extracurricular activity of mountain biking. Once they have these advanced skills they are brought up to the Dublin Mountains to experience the outdoors in an exciting and positive activity.
Students are brought up to the mountains via buses and get a rare adrenaline filled experience of the new and exciting world of mountain biking. Students will have to cycle up the mountain in order to come down and learn the importance of having a strong and fit body in order to access the most that the mountains have to offer.
Students will also learn the importance of the outdoors and develop an appreciation for nature and the wider world. It is an exciting activity that is not only physically good for them but also for their emotional and mental well-being.
We hope to see you up on the mountain trails soon.
