Bacon's College, Southwark

A few of our Year 8 students went on a wilderness adventure trip to Ogwen Cottage in Wales this term! 🏕️

Hear from Priyanshu below:
‘During the trip we took part in a range of exciting activities including Abseiling, Sailing, Gorge Walking and Camping. I was particularly nervous about Sailing and Abseiling as both were completely new to me, but with the encouragement of my teachers and peers, I faced my fears and completed both successfully. That sense of achievement in something I would carry with me long after the trip.’

It was fantastic to see our students stepping out of their comfort zones and trying new things! ⛵️
