As part of the Year 10 ROAR Programme, we took some time outside of class to go explore some local scenery and spend time reflecting on the people in our lives and what kind of adults we want to be.

Last Thursday, the Year 10's braced the cold and we all headed down to Ashley Gorge. The aim of the trip was to reflect on the people in our lives who have helped shape us into who we are today and think about what qualities we want to work on in ourselves.

After a quick walk around the loop track we wrote some gratitude letters to the adults and family that have helped shape us into who we are today. The day ended with a big challenge - to leave something from our childhood behind (bad habit, attitude, etc) and pick up something new for the journey into adulthood ahead (courage, caring, humility, etc), to which all the students embraced and had a great time doing so.

Special thanks to Mr Halliwell, Mrs Lovatt, Mrs Gilpin, Miss Wallace, Samara and Beth and Iain Froud (24/7 YouthWork), for your mahi on the trip, enjoy the photos below!
