Gaisce
RDA East Wicklow
For the 13 weeks of community involvement for gaisce I volunteered to help at the Riding for the Disabled in Ballinteskin in Wicklow. The first week was an induction and we learnt how to properly handle the horses and help the children.
In our second and week and every week after that we helped get ready for the two lessons on a Tuesday and either led horses for the lessons or walked beside the horse and assisted the children.
It was a great experience to help this charity and nice to meet all of the children from st Catherine's school each week.
Along with myself three other students from my year went each week, although gaisce is only 13 weeks long we went every week that we could and the experience was amazing.

Steer Clear
For my personal skill aspect of Gaisce I chose to do the Steer Clear driving theory course, the course lasted for 15 weeks.
Throughout the course our teacher, Ian Fleming, went through each aspect of driving theory in detail, from risk assessment to car maintenance.
this was a very enjoyable class each week and I was happy with my grade when we did a mock theory exam, I got 36/40. This class has prepared me for the official driving theory exam which I will take during the summer.
