For Physical Recreation
Carol did yoga, she found yoga beneficial for both body and mind. It also helped with the stress of doing the Leaving Cert.
Personal Skill
Carol continued to learn the cello. The orchestra she joined went from 20 members to 90 and they played in the National Concert Hall in February 2018. As a result she was also able to do music for her Leaving Cert. It was and is great fun!
