Year 12 Activity Day at Worcester University Lakeside Campus

On Friday, our Year 12 students enjoyed an action-packed activity day at Worcester University Lakeside Campus as part of their Induction programme.  They tried a variety of physical activities including canoeing and climbing.  There was also a bush craft activity in which they built shelters and fires, toasted marshmallows and completed a scavenger hunt.  Cerebral team building activities and solving puzzles to complete an orienteering task were also part of the day’s programme.  The weather was very kind to us and we enjoyed lots of lovely October sunshine.

As well as having a lot of fun, it was good to see the students challenging themselves to try new activities and push themselves physically and mentally.  The activities were designed to stretch and challenge them and to develop teamwork, leadership and communication skills. It was a real pleasure to see the students throwing themselves into the different challenges and enjoying themselves; it was also an excellent way for the whole year group to get to know each other better.  Our new year 12 busied themselves making new friends, laughing with old friends, working in teams and enjoying each other’s company in different surroundings.  A good time was had by all
