On Wednesday the 27th August, Mary Yore from Gaisce – The President’s Award – came to speak to us about how to achieve the bronze medal award, or Bronze gaisce. She explained to us that there are three different awards – The bronze, the Silver, and the Gold. For our Transition year we will be participating in the Bronze award. It will involve community work, gaining a personal skill, and doing some form of physical activity, spending thirteen weeks on each, and a 2 day night adventure course. We would be in groups for this and also covering a minimum distance of 23 – 25 km over the two days. The Bronze Gaisce is awarded over a minimum period of six months.
