We recently took some students on a residential for three days to Peat Rigg, where they took part in a range of different activities. Some of these activities included: Archery, Abseiling, Ziplining, Caving and orienteering.

Other obscure activities also took place, with the crate escape, Jacob’s ladder and bushcraft, where the students toasted marshmallows and warmed up with their own fires.

These activities were all designed to improve student’s resilience, teamwork, communication and
leadership skills.

Every student succeeded on this trip, as staff we all felt each individual had either faced their fears or grown as a person, doing things they normally wouldn’t. All week us staff members had the privilege of watching how the students represented the school and themselves, to the point that one of the instructors said that some of the activities were the smoothest they had ever run with this group.

Following this they should all be very proud to be a Grange Student!
