Gaisce at Finn Valley College

The President’s Award is an achievement earned by young people in Ireland between the ages of 15 and 25 for participating in several activities over a certain period of time. There are three awards: bronze, silver and gold. 

Gaisce is focused on and driven by the following core values: Empowerment, Inclusion & Equality, Respect and Excellence.  

All senior students have the opportunity to take part in achieving silver and bronze while at Finn Valley College. By getting involved in Gaisce, students take on exciting personal, physical and community challenges and develop new skills and friendships. 

Ms Treanor and Ms Collum support students with the various aspects of achieving their bronze and silver medals. Below are some photos of students on a trip to Gola Island on a team building exercise to fulfill the physical aspect of the challenge.
