Ms Doorly, Ms Toprak, Ms Kisten and Mr Mahon accompanied the group.

On the activities side of things there was axe throwing. Riyaz turned out to be an expert in the sport, a real natural. The giant swing raised of few pulses too, as Ms Doorly reports: 'Some tough brave young men were reduced to shrieks as they were hoisted 32ft into the air by their fellow classmates and launched into a hurtling swing.'

Another challenge was found in crate building: students had to engage teamwork and communication to save their team members from falling from their self-built perch!

Year 11 also enjoyed access to the site’s astro turf for a few challenging games of football with the Head Boy Emmanuel’s team emerging victorious!
