With over 30 students in Years 8, 9 and 10 taking part, the trip was filled with challenge, excitement and moments that will stay with them for years to come.
Across five hours of skiing each day for five days, students pushed themselves on the slopes under the guidance of skilled instructors. They were split into three ability groups, ensuring that everyone progressed at their own pace - and all groups made huge leaps in confidence and skill throughout the week. Every student completed blue runs, and some even challenged themselves further by taking on red runs, an incredible achievement for such a young cohort.
In recognition of their hard work and perseverance, all students were awarded a certificate and a small gift from their instructor, marking their personal progress over the course of the week.
Beyond skiing, the group also enjoyed a variety of evening activities that helped make the experience even more memorable. Highlights included:
- A lively quiz night
- A fun-filled karaoke night
- Evening walks into the small town
- And a special pizza night at a local restaurant to celebrate their final evening - the perfect way to end such an extraordinary week
PE Teacher Ms Foster, who helped lead the trip, praised the students for their exceptional effort and enthusiasm throughout:
"Our students pushed themselves every single day and should be incredibly proud of how far they’ve come. Watching them grow in confidence, support each other and embrace every challenge was amazing — they’ve made memories to last a lifetime."
The trip was an outstanding success, and staff could not be prouder of how our students embodied our values of Aspiration, Community, Respect, and the determination to grasp every Opportunity To Succeed.
