Sixth-year student Wendy Fairbrother, Co Wicklow, prepares for the virtual Kilkenny College Tractor run.
Kilkenny College’s annual tractor run has become a highlight of the school calendar since its first run in 2013.
Because of COVID-19, it was forced online for the second year in a row, with a video of students driving their tractors at home as well as good wishes from many past pupils being released on the traditional date of the run, the Thursday before the May bank holiday weekend.
Speaking to the
Irish Farmers Journal, deputy principal Aubrey O’Keeffe praised the students involved, ranging from transition to sixth years, for their dedication to the annual event.
