Thanks!
Our round of Coastal Days are now complete! Well done to all the pupils who scrambled, jumped, strolled, swam and flipped their way around our fantastic Shetland coastline. Photos will be coming soon.
A big thanks to Chris Grant, Mr Arthur, Mr Robertson, Miss Nicolson, Miss Watt, Mr Redman, Mrs Thomson & Mr Smith for accompanying the groups. Without staff volunteers these days would not happen.
And thanks to Pete & John for another great outdoor adventure….how does the wild make you feel, on the inside?!

Home for the night on Vementry!
Saturday 27th June saw the Conserve Award group undertake their first overnight adventure. Many thanks to Pete & Rob for organising an amazing weekend of paddling, exploring, line-fishing, open-fire cooking and sleeping out on the uninhabited island of Vementry!
Check out some of Amber’s photos. Although it got a bit wet, it was some of the calmest Shetland conditions we have experienced.
The girls paddled together…
…and so did the boys.
we didn’t leave Magnus behind!
Travis keeps an eye on dinner.
