G32 spent their first week of school on an adventure together at the Howtown Outward Bound Centre on Ullswater.
Students explored their guiding question: “What does it mean to be Crew?” through a series of challenges which pushed them beyond their comfort zones, teaching them that there is more in them than they know.
Crews had bespoke overnight expeditions which involved activities such as jog and dip, gorge walking, rowing, hiking and incredibly, all four of our intrepid Crews conquered Hallin Fell – the mountain which overlooks Howtown Bay.
On their final day, students stood in the shadow of Hallin Fell to present to the whole community what they had learned about themselves and each other in answer to the guiding question. Students drew from visceral examples that they had seen over their week of courage, respect, integrity, craftsmanship & quality and above all… compassion.
They left for Howtown on that coach journey as our new pioneering G32 students, and returned as Crew.
