On Sunday 5th August, our Year 8 girls travelled to La Rive, France to challenge themselves outside of the classroom. Charlotte Coton and Freya Arnold summarise their experience:  

Charlotte Coton

“La Rive allowed me to overcome new challenges and try out different activities like sailing and kayaking. I loved the high ropes course, which helped me to overcome my fear of heights. My favourite part was the team beach challenge, because it showed how important team work is. It was brilliant to work with different people and help others too. La Rive was a very enjoyable and challenging. I would encourage others to go on the trip.”

Freya Arnold

“La Rive gave me the opportunity to meet new people in my year group. I liked experiencing camping with my friends and I learnt quite quickly how important it was to take care of our tent as part of a team. My favourite activity was the wind surfing, It was hard but very funny! The trip allowed me to bond with my year group and find out more about my friends and myself. I pushed myself and overcame fears, and now I feel more confident to take on new challenges in the future.”
