Year 11 Ski Le Corbier Feb/2013

During February Half Term 41 pupils and 5 staff headed off to Le Corbier in the French Alps for a week of skiing and other activities. A fabulous time was had by all, with several students achieving the top ‘5 Star Gold’ award. Pupils had a go at ski jumping in the snow park, went sledging, swimming, bowling and strutted their stuff down at the local disco. They even had a chance to sample some traditional French cuisine – snails and frogs’ legs! Mrs Tandy and the staff team would like to say once again how superb all the pupils were and what a fantastic trip it was.
