It’s always special to have an ex-Carrensian return, and Niamh gave our students so much to think about as they navigate this crucial time in their own journeys. She shared invaluable insights into her gap year experiences, her current undergraduate studies, and her exciting plans for the future, all while reflecting on her own time in our classrooms. 

Beyond her academic and personal achievements, we are incredibly proud to see Niamh taking on a massive new challenge: she is currently supporting Student Minds and will be embarking on an expedition to Everest Base Camp this September! 

Niamh, thank you for showing our students that stepping outside of your comfort zone is something to be embraced, not feared. We are rooting for you every step of the way—good luck with the training and the climb!
