Easter break marked an exciting time for 39 Year 7 to Year 9 students as they hit the slopes and kickstarted their trip to France. Staying at Les Menuires resort in the French Alps, students were challenged to push their skiing abilities to new heights, testing their endurance and courage on the slopes. 

Despite a rather sparse offering of snow on the mountainsides upon arrival, they were thankfully treated to a couple of days of snowfall that made for some great skiing and the snow just about held out until the end of the week. It was fantastic to see many students improve significantly from beginners mastering parallel turns, to seasoned pros finessing their technique on the harder routes. 

Off the piste, students occupied themselves with various games nights, visits into the town for hot chocolates and crepes, writing postcards home, a trip on the luge and an excellent quiz night organised by the Year 9 students.  

The trip would not have been possible without the support of Mr Ryan, Mr Gauntlett, Miss Hooker, Miss Noble, and Miss Barron. Thanks to the collective wealth of experience and expertise, helping things run so smoothly from start to finish.
