TY Immersion Trip 2025: Tír na nÓg Support Plan

This May, our TY group will travel to Tír na nÓg, Tanzania, for the third time. In the lead-up to the trip, we are asking the wider school community to support the children of Tír na nÓg by donating a selection of requested items.

Items Requested (ages 4–14):

• School shirts

• Grey or black trousers

• White or blue polo shirts

• School stationery (copies, pens, pencils)

• Sports equipment (balls, pumps, boots, skipping ropes, cones, etc.)

How to Help:

• Consider collecting or purchasing a few of these items over the Easter break.

• Bring donations to school after the holidays.

• TY students will pack all donations into suitcases before departing.

Your generosity is greatly appreciated.– The TY Immersion Team
