We are delighted to share the highlights of this year’s successful Year 8 ski trip to Mt. Parnassos, which took place on Thursday 8th and Friday 9th February. A total of 59 pupils started off on this exciting adventure, accompanied by our dedicated staff, making it a truly unforgettable experience for all.
The first day was filled with energy and enthusiasm as pupils participated in a 2-hour ski or snowboard lesson tailored to their individual skill levels. Under the expert guidance of certified instructors, working in very small groups, they embraced the challenge and made remarkable progress on the slopes. After an active day in the snow, pupils enjoyed a well-earned break, choosing between ice-skating at an outdoor rink or unwinding with hot chocolate while socialising with friends.
The adventure continued on the second day with two additional 2-hour lessons. With growing confidence and determination, pupils refined their skills and showed impressive improvement on the slopes. Whether they were beginners mastering their first descent or experienced skiers perfecting jumps and turns, everyone had the opportunity to develop their abilities and push their limits. Some pupils who had never skied before were confidently tackling the beginner slopes by the end of the day, while more advanced skiers took on new challenges, such as jumps and twirls.
We are incredibly proud of our pupils for their enthusiasm, resilience, and teamwork throughout the trip. Their exemplary behaviour made it an absolute pleasure to accompany them on this adventure. From early morning starts to the final run down the slopes, they displayed dedication, determination, and a positive spirit.
A huge thank you to our staff, pupils, and parents for their support in making this trip such a success. We look forward to many more exciting adventures in the future!
