End of a Great Week

Glorious sunshine and high spirit's were in full flow on the last day of the course. The boys and girls continued their activity rotations so that everyone got a chance to experience a mine, climb, canoe, and a tough day on a mountain. After chatting to the students at the end of the week the mining adventures proved to be the most popular activity. Its not often that you get to take an underwater boat trip!

As an outdoor education centre we are always looking for our students to take away meaningful lessons and experiences which they can utilise in other aspects of life. During the end of course review the students reflected on the things which they enjoyed but also found challenging during the week. Referring to one of the course aims of 'To learn how to work and live with others', one the boys said that he found it 'challenging  to live with other people who were messy', but this was resolved by 'talking to each other and agreeing on who should do which job'. Furthermore, all of the students agreed that the aim of 'Learning through experience' was a great way to try new things which may have looked scary to start with.
