Year 7 Bonding Trip

Our new cohort of Senior School pupils enjoyed an action-packed, three-day residential together.

Our recent Year 7 joiners spent a fun few days outdoors in the Shropshire countryside where they tackled team-building and problem-solving challenges with their House mates. Dinuli and Raina report back on their highlights:

“We had a great time doing all the activities. When we went abseiling, it was exciting to step over the edge; we all cheered everyone down. Canoeing was loads of fun too, as we learned to paddle together and enjoyed being out on the water. Rock climbing was one of the best parts of the trip because we climbed up to the top without climbing grips – it was a bit tricky but fun at the same time. Overall, we all had a really enjoyable experience and bonded with everyone.” 

“We were put into groups at random, which was a great way to meet new people outside of our friendship groups. I made a lot of new friends and enjoyed spending time with them. The activities were also really fun, especially as we had a few competitions such as who could complete the abseiling and vertical challenge the fastest! Overall, my favourite activities were kayaking and canoeing – initially I was quite anxious, but as soon as I got into the water, my fears evaporated and I had a lot of fun. This residential will definitely be one of the highlights of my year; it was a very memorable trip!”
