X-TREME 2021- The highlights

So the shoes are shined and the bags are packed. Let’s take one last look at our epic summer adventure and reflect on the new friendships that were made, the new found confidence that was discovered and the memories to last a lifetime, that were packed into three short weeks.

We are so looking forward to seeing you back in school, hopefully with some of the X-Treme magic in your backpack!!

Praise for local summer scheme as Education Minister visits Tyrone

Education minister, Michelle McIlveen, was given a lesson in fun this week, when she popped in to the Gortin Glen Forest Park.
Taking place during her visit was Sacred Heart College’s Summer Scheme X-Treme 2021, a project funded by the department and inclusive of a range of outdoor activities.

And for the final time…

THAT’s A WRAP!

Congratulations to our fearsome Titan Tigers. They have had an awesome week. Everyday they turned up with smiles on their faces and everyday we did our best to challenge them and push them further and harder!

We had first time bakers and model-makers .
We had kids who were afraid of water, cannon balling into the lake.
We had non-swimmers swimming under waterfalls, those afraid of heights on top of mountains and water slides.
We had those who valued their fake tan and make-up on day one, throwing themselves in front of paint bombs by day 4.
We even had someone afraid of fire, light their own fire and cooking their own bread!
We also forgot to keep a check on the sugar intake so S’mores are now the breakfast, lunch and dinner of choice.

These magic 3 weeks have allowed our children to be children, with their friends, in the great outdoors doing something that scares them.

X-Treme 2021 has lived up to his name.
Thank you Sacred Heart College pupils.
You really are the best!!

Sincere and heartfelt thanks to the team including Shooter, Jenny, Nikita, Colin, cokie, Ciaran, Vinny, John, meave, to name only a few of co-ordinators and instructors that worked with us.

Today was a perfect ‘Goldilocks’ day…not too hot…not to cold… not too wet… not too sunny. It was just right! Today was our third and final day in the Gortin Glens forest park.
There was all the usual activities as well as the excitement of the Education minister, Michael and Jude from the Ulster Herald and Julian from the BBC! It was all go.
Here’s a round up of photos!

Special thanks to David, the Forest Ranger and his team for accommodating us over the past 3 weeks.

Today’s photos are still to come but here is X-Treme TV!!
Many thanks to the Minister for education for joining us this morning and to Julian Fowler from BBC for his coverage.
We are very proud of all of pupils and how they conducted themselves and how they have highlighted the spirit and ethos of our wonderful school.

Thank you to NI Water for providing all our pupils with water bottles for the summer scheme and thank you RMC Plumbing and Heating for sponsoring the bread rolls and charcoal for the BBQ.

Not summer scheme related, but look what you can achieve when you push beyond your limits, take a step into the unknown and trust that what you have inside will take you where you need to be.

Sending best wishes to our past pupil Eilish Flanagan as she runs for Ireland tonight in the olympics.

Sending our prayers and best wishes for success to Eilish in Tokyo as she runs in Heat 3 of 3000m Steeplechase tonight commencing at 1:40am our time.

Week 2 of X-Treme 2021 was jam-packed with fun, adventure and challenge. The change in the weather did not bother our pupils!

Here’s a round up of photos from the week.
There was baking, sculpturing, team challenges, hiking, bushcraft, gorge walking, water park, canoeing, mountain biking, archery, rocket-making, kite flying, sports coaching, car building and of course… the colour run and water slide. So much packed into 4 days and seeing the sheer enjoyment on those wee faces makes it all worthwhile!

Can week 3 beat week 2… it’ll be a tough competition.

And that’s a wrap on week 2 of X-Treme 2021
Delta Dragons you were awesome.

These pint-sized warriors battled through X-Treme weather and still came out smiling and laughing!
Each and everyone of them stepped up and took on each challenge they were presented with. We loved having them with us for the week.





Week 3…… WE’RE COMING TO GET YOU!!!!!
