We’re all in this together!

Wow! After an action packed few days at Outward Bound where Crew KBA really had to learn the art of working together to ensure everyone (myself included) made it through the experience.

We had tears and lots of laughter through out the activities but I am proud to say that every member or our crew made it to Friday.

We completed a range of activities from packing our camping bags, to a jog and dip, rock climbing and boating. Each had its own challenges but we worked through these together.

This week Crew KBA have been navigating yet again but this time it was between their sessions and rooms. I have seen lots of praise being added and last time I checked every single crew member had at least one praise!

I can’t wait to see what the next few weeks hold for us as a crew and I look forward to seeing each of them grow and develop.

Outward Bound Crew CCR

We had a great week on Outward Bound. Everyone in the crew tried something new and was challenged to show courage. The week began with a quick plunge into Ullswater which certainly woke us all up after a long coach journey! The challenges continued with gorge walking, waterfall climbing and a lengthy hike up Hallin Fell. Pupils were very tired, with many even asking for an earlier bedtime so they could get some much needed rest.  

One of the most memorable experiences was the overnight camp. Pupils set up their shelters at the lakeside, hunkering down in their sleeping bags until it was time to wake up and enjoy the sunrise over the water. The ration packs were surprisingly tasty, with macaroni cheese and full English breakfast gaining rave reviews. 

Although everyone was pleased to get home and enjoy the comforts of their own beds, we had a wonderful time getting to know each other.
