Year 7 spent a week in Austria from 8th July-15th July. It was an early start of 6.30am on the Saturday morning as we made our way to Dover for the 5pm ferry. We then spent the night travelling through France and Germany before arriving in Wagrain, Austria.

The children had an amazing time and showed resilience, team work and courage as they took part in the activities throughout the week. The activities included tobogganing, white water rafting, paddle boarding, kayaking, high ropes, sailing, mountain biking and tubing as well as visiting the local water park. The views were phenomenal and we had loads of fun!

The evening talent show proved popular and it was fantastic to see so many of our young people getting up to sing, dance and even perform with a puppet. Their competitive edge also came out during quiz night where the winners beat the teacher team!

A fantastic week was had by all and we are so very proud of all of the children.

Daniel G said “I enjoyed all the activities we did but my favourite was the tobogganing because it was fun and Lake Wolfgang was amazing too!”

Maddie L said “The food was nice and the hotel had lots of evening entertainment”

Brandon W said “Austria is a beautiful country and it was sunny while we were there. I enjoyed the tobogganing the most because I could go quickly around the corners. The water was so clear at Lake Wolfgang that you could see the fish swimming in it!”

Eleanor J said “The hotel was really good because there was lots of things to do with our friends both inside and outside. My favourite activity of the week was the whitewater rafting because we got to swim in the river”

Sam P said “Austria was fantastic! I really enjoyed the water park because we had a full afternoon there and the views from the mountains were amazing!”
