Starting on June 11th, 41 pupils from Year s7,8 and 9 departed for North Wales to spend five days at Towers, the outdoor education centre. All pupils experienced a number of activities such as gorge walking, orienteering, kayaking, canoeing, rock climbing, mountain walking, abseiling and zip-wiring. Everyone had an amazing time and many were able to go out of their comfort zone.

Thanks to the assistance of Miss Buckle (PE Teacher) and to Mr Harris (Head of Year) everything went splendidly well.

Everybody who went experienced a lot more than expected and students were able to learn more about themselves. Many even tried activities that they were unsure about doing and were surprised that they were capable of handling the situation without any trouble.

It was nice to also see many students socialising with people that they normally don’t talk to and to see many people enjoying going outdoors no matter what the weather.

Amelia said, “I would recommend anyone to go to Towers Outdoor Recreation Centre as it’s a good experience and there are many activities to try out.”

After undergoing a lot of challenges and after facing many unforgettable moments, it was sad to say a farewell to Towers as it was a great experience for students at St. Edmund’s.
