The CLF BIG Trip

Last week seven of our CAB students joined up with students from all CLF secondary schools to attend the BIG Trip in Aberdovey, Snowdonia. They spent the week hiking up mountains, camping in the torrential rain, jumping off piers, building rafts, completing jet boat swims and the trapeze, amongst many other team building challenges. The students all showed amazing resilience to overcome some of their biggest fears and challenges. They worked together not only as a school but with students across all schools, making new friends at the same time. It was an experience they should be proud of and an incredible opportunity that I hope they will look back on and be pleased with what they achieved whilst creating some great memories. Some students have also been selected to attend the Summer Camp based upon the determination, motivation, and teamwork they demonstrated throughout and for enthusiastically throwing themselves into every challenge they faced.

Student comment: ‘the trip has showed me that I’m far more capable than I realised’.

Well done to Laqueshia, Rudi, Nevaeh, Noel, Tia, Tylan and Dennisha for their resilience and efforts in overcoming so many challenges and for throwing themselves into everything even when it felt difficult.
