Staff and senior pupils recently attended an Outward Bound Leadership course at Loch Eil Centre in the Scottish Highlands. Staff and pupils enjoyed many different experiences including a jog and a dip in the loch, abseiling and hill walking. They even got to try some foraging and sampled some freshly picked wood sorrel!
Outward Bound Trust is a learning charity which equips young people with social and emotional skills through learning and adventure outdoors. The Centre is situated on the shores of the loch, near Fort William, and is the Trust’s most remote outdoor education centre. Our staff and pupils had a wonderful time and learned much from the experience.
Mr Robertson, Head teacher, was delighted to participate in an Education Forum organised for the Outward Bound Trust at Buckingham Palace during the October break. He was one of 200 people invited by Prince Andrew, Chairman of The Outward Bound Trust, to take part in the event on 16th October.
Calderhead High School is planning an Outward Bound® residential experience for pupils in S4, S5 and S6 at Loch Eil in the Scottish Highlands from 27th to 29th October 2017.
