Last week, a party of over 40 pupils from first and second year pupils enjoyed a 3-day visit to the Teen Ranch Outdoor Centre at Inchture in Perthshire. Mr Clark Govan, of the PE Department, and his staff team of Mr Purvis, Miss Pathmanathan and Miss Taylor worked alongside the specialist Teen Ranch staff as the pupils enjoyed a variety of outdoor and indoor activities. The party enjoyed glorious sunshine that simply enhanced the beautiful surroundings of this country retreat.

Pupils enjoyed leather craft and a wide range of indoor sports. Outside, the highlights were undoubtedly pony trekking, canoeing, water and grass sliding and archery. All of the children took part with great enthusiasm and developed a real team spirit during the visit.

The Teen Ranch has become one of the highlights of the junior school experience and this year’s group added their own endorsement to those of previous generations of Teen Ranchers by voting the stay a huge success.
