Year 8 had a day focusing on careers. With external talks from Nelson & Colne College to team building exercises like this one. Groups were challenged with making a chair out of balloons, string and cellotape. Within a set time, each member was given a roll to perform and one was selected as the test 'victim'.
A massive well done to Year 9, who have taken part in a practice walk to prepare them for their final D of E Bronze award expedition which will take place later this academic year. Year 9 demonstrated Respect as they took the challenging route and everyone persevered to make it to the end. Well done Year 9! Thank you to all the staff who actively took part today and an even bigger thank you to Mr Spencer and Mr Jackson for all of their organisation in the weeks leading up to today.
PD Day Success!
