An Unforgettable Adventure on the Ski Slopes
Friday, 28th February 2025 
A group of our students recently returned from an incredible skiing trip to Sestriere, a beautiful resort in the Italian Alps. What had been months in the making turned into a truly memorable experience, filled with new challenges, personal achievements and plenty of fun.
The trip was about more than just skiing—it was an opportunity to build resilience, work as a team, and appreciate the outdoors. From the moment they arrived, students could see the panoramic views of the snow-covered peaks. Sestriere is well-known for its Olympic history and excellent slopes, providing the perfect setting.
Students were placed into beginner, intermediate, and advanced groups, with professional instructors guiding them throughout the week. For many, it was their first time on skis, and overcoming those early nerves was a real accomplishment. By the end of the trip, even the beginners had gained confidence, with some managing red runs—a fantastic achievement.
Beyond developing their skiing skills, the students formed lasting friendships and learned valuable lessons about perseverance and determination. It was a week filled with hard work, encouragement and plenty of laughter.
The resort staff were full of praise for the students, with one representative commenting:
“The students’ behaviour was exemplary and a credit to your school. Our ski instructors commented that they were one of the best groups they have had – polite, attentive, and engaging. It is rare that all the students on a ski trip persevere to the end, with some just giving up, but your students kept going and supported one another. Even the beginners faced their fears and were able to do red runs by the end of the week.”
A brilliant trip and an experience to remember!
