Ski Trip to Pila 25/26 – A Week to Remember!
On Saturday 27th December, an excited group of our Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 students set off for the stunning slopes of Pila in the Aosta Valley, Italy. After months of anticipation, the adventure finally began as the group settled into their home for the week, the welcoming Hotel Valdotain.
Throughout the trip, students took to the mountains to develop their skiing and snowboarding skills. Whether they were stepping onto the snow for the first time or building on previous experience, every student showed remarkable perseverance, team spirit, determination, enthusiasm and progress. The Pila resort offered the perfect backdrop—breathtaking views, excellent conditions, and a safe environment for students to challenge themselves and grow in confidence.
After a full week of learning, laughter and unforgettable moments, the group returned on Saturday 3rd January—tired but thrilled with everything they had achieved. Our students have been outstanding from start to finish, embracing every challenge and supporting one another along the way. Their attitude truly impressed all staff members on the trip.
These are memories that will last a lifetime, and we couldn’t be prouder of each and every student who took part.
We’re already looking ahead with excitement as we prepare to launch the 26/27 Ski Trip. If this year is anything to go by, it’s set to be another unforgettable adventure!
