6th Class Graduation Party 

A Fun and Exciting Way to Mark the End of National School!

Celebrate the end of National School with an unforgettable outdoor adventure!

This 6th Class Graduation Party is the perfect way for children to mark their final days before moving on to secondary school. Set on the stunning 800-acre Killruddery Estate, children will take on over 60 exciting obstacles across a 5-7KM course (depending on fitness), inspired by HELL & BACK Junior and Ireland’s Fittest Family. Guided by experienced instructors, children will climb, crawl, jump and laugh their way through ditches, streams, forests and trails.

It’s all about teamwork, fun and memories that will last long after the day is over.
