Pupils from Braidhurst High School and nine other NLC secondary schools recently returned from an adventurous week at the Outward Bound Centre at Loch Eil, in the Highlands. The pupils were able to take part in a number of outdoor pursuits during their week away including raft building, rock climbing and hill walking. Each of the enjoyable activities allowed individual pupils to improve their self confidence and communication skills. The pupils had a ‘wonderful time and were all able to successfully achieve the Outward Bound Trust’s Adventure and Challenge Award (SCQF level 5) in addition to the John Muir Discovery Award.
