Year 9 Camp 2016

This year we took 29 young people with us on the year 9 camp to Llandod; this was the school’s 56th year at the same campsite.

We were really lucky this year and had some really nice weather so the amount of walking we did was limited. That didn’t stop us from having lots of fun though!


On Monday morning we went for a lovely walk around the Elan Valley. 








Someone even found the time to enjoy the views.

The rest of the week included camp craft activities, kayaking, swimming and chilling with friends.

Year 8 Bockleton Residential

Over the weekend (Sat 8th & Sun 9th Feb) THS and CafĂ© 27 arranged for 41 year 8 pupils to visit Bockleton Study Centre where they joined in with a range of fun outdoor activities. These included orienteering, tunnelling, low ropes obstacle course, crate stack and power fan to name a few.

Alongside the year 8 pupils, there was also 8 young leaders from year 9 and 10, who all attended the same weekend when they were in year 8 themselves.

Pupils arrived at the centre at 9:30am on Saturday and were shown to their rooms by some of the young leaders. After everyone had arrived and introduced to the staff they were divided into four groups where they spent the day completing the activities listed above in a rotational set up; two activities before lunch and two after.

Pupils were a credit to the school and went about completing these activities in the most positive way possible, despite the windy and wet conditions; especially in the afternoon.

Below is a selection of pictures from each activity:

After completing the activities pupils made it indoors, got into some dry clothes and enjoyed a hot chocolate. They then had some down time before their evening tea and a game of big prize (haribo sweets) bingo.

Sundays schedule, along with pictures will be added soon.
