Our Transition Year students recently took part in an engaging and highly informative driving course at Bantry Driving Academy. The programme offered students a valuable introduction to road safety and responsible driving.
Each student received a 20‑minute practical driving lesson, giving them hands‑on experience behind the wheel in a controlled and supportive environment. They also completed a reaction test and a mock theory test, helping them understand the skills and focus required to be safe road users.
A highlight of the day was a visit from the local Fire Brigade crew, who delivered a powerful presentation on the real-life consequences of dangerous driving behaviours, including speeding, drink-driving, and mobile phone use. Their message reinforced the importance of making smart, safe decisions on the road.
Well done to all our TY students for engaging so positively with the programme and taking an important step toward becoming responsible future drivers.
