What an incredible week our Year 7 had. As promised here is a slideshow of images from the week.
The guiding question for the week was “What does it mean to be Crew?” and our students learned that in spades. Across the week there were countless examples of students demonstrating courage, respect, craftsmanship & quality, integrity and above all… compassion.
All crews started with the traditional jog and dip, getting into the lake and going as deep as their crew could manage. After planning their expeditions, they carried out some evening crew-building activities and then stayed in dorms for the first night of their adventure.
On the second morning all Crews packed up and set off on their expeditions to include challenging adventurous activities such as hiking with packs containing food/tents/cooking equipment, climbing/abseiling, gorge walking, canoeing, rowing, rafting, camping in tents/yurts and more!
At the end of the week all students scaled the slopes around Halin Fell to carry out a presentation on what it means to be Crew. We are so delighted with out new students in Year 7 – they have made such a fantastic start in The Lakes and now back in school too.
