Last week, the Year 7s went on an exciting trip to Larisa. First, we stopped at Metaxochori which was a memorable experience and definitely worth the long journey. We saw the waterfalls and walked around the very traditional village streets. In the afternoon, we visited the old Girls’ School, and received a talk about the history of this significant location. We also learnt about the process of the production of silk.
On Friday, we had a really fun day at Pineios River where we were introduced to rafting techniques and had the opportunity to practise our skills for three hours. In the evening, we enjoyed a range of activities such as archery, ziplining and hiking across the beautiful mountain of Kissavos.
On the last day, our pupils participated in a rafting competition along the same river route they practiced the day before. At the end, all pupils received a gift of a t-shirt from Trekking Hellas, to remember the day. The winners also got their medals and extra prizes!
Overall, this was a highly engaging, fun and educational experience enjoyed by all, and we look forward to taking our new intake of Year 7 pupils next year!
