Year 8 Ski Visit to Torgon

At the beginning of March 30 Year 8 students along with Mr Steele, Miss Wattison and Mrs Currie and 70 other pupils from 3 further Birmingham schools spent the week in a very snowy Switzerland. With every type of weather from snow storms and freezing fog where you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face, to bright sunshine, all had an amazing week and progressed brilliantly. A massive well done to all the pupils and thank you to staff who accompanied, below are some of the things the girls said about the visit:

‘The ski week was AMAZING!!! I loved and enjoyed EVERYTHING!!! I can’t believe how much I improved in just one week’

‘I have gained so much confidence over the trip, at the start of the week I would never have believed I would have improved so much’

‘I had a great time and I have made many new friends and memories’

‘I have learned loads of things on this ski trip, one being when you fall just to get back up and to always try, even if you think you can’t do It, you will get there eventually’

‘I loved waking up to seeing mountains upon mountains, and masses of snow as it is very different from what I would normally wake up to in Birmingham, thank you’

‘This week was amazing, my favourite part was improving my skiing throughout the week with the help of my instructor and friends. I didn’t expect the week to go as fast as it did and I didn’t expect to be as busy as I was. I was surprised that I skied into France on red slopes. Although it was very difficult, it was a fun and challenging experience. I would like to thank all the staff for this remarkable experience’
