❄️ First Day on the Slopes ❄️ Our students smashed their very first day of skiing! From nerves and tumbles to confidence and smiles, they showed real resilience, determination, and teamwork throughout the day. So proud of how they kept going and supported each other. ⛷️💪
We’ve arrived safely in Italy and jumped straight into ski-fit to get everyone prepped for the slopes. Students refuelled with some delicious pasta for lunch 🍝 and even managed a quick supermarket visit 🛒.
Now it’s time to freshen up and get ready for our evening meal before a well-earned rest. Skis on tomorrow… excitement is building! ⛷️❄️
After a breakfast stop, we’re on the road again and only a few hours away from arriving in Pila for our school skiing trip ⛷️⛰️
All aboard! 🛳️ Our students are on the ferry to Italy, ready for an unforgettable school ski trip! ❄️⛷️

🚗🎈 Science Club in action! 🎈🚗
This week, our scientists put their engineering skills to the test by designing balloon-powered cars! Using air pressure, problem-solving, and a lot of teamwork, students experimented with speed, stability, and design tweaks to see whose car could travel the furthest. Lots of trial and error, plenty of excited races, and even more scientific thinking 💡
Learning physics has never been this much fun!
👏 Huge well done to everyone who took part, future engineers in the making! #ScienceClub #STEMinAction
Today, high-quality teaching and learning continued as our Year 10 PE students were introduced to a brand-new sport: goalball 👀⚽️
Through the lesson, students developed their communication and active listening skills — essential qualities that will directly support their Sports Coaching coursework. A brilliant example of learning that builds both skills and understanding 👏

Theme of the week: We Are Blessed. This week’s theme reminds us that blessing isn’t about wealth, success, or popularity. In the Gospel, Jesus teaches the Beatitudes, showing us that we are truly blessed when we live with kindness, mercy, peace, and courage. Jesus tells us that God is close to those who struggle, who care deeply for others, and who choose love even when it’s hard.
As we reflect on We Are Blessed, we’re invited to notice the blessings already present in our lives and to remember that we are blessed when we try to live as Jesus teaches — trusting that God walks with us in every part of our journey. #WeAreBlessed #Beatitudes #FaithInAction #ChooseLove #GospelReflection
