Our pupils had a wonderful experience aboard the Swan sailing boat in Lerwick, made even more special as it is the Swan\u2019s 126th birthday this year.<\/p>\n

The Primary class worked brilliantly together, learning how to haul the sails and getting a real taste of teamwork at sea.<\/p>\n

The Secondary group took part in an exciting overnight sailing trip. They left Mid Yell Pier at 1 pm, sailed around Fetlar, and anchored overnight at Tresta, Fetlar. The next day, they returned safely to Mid Yell Pier at 1 pm.<\/p>\n

It was a fantastic opportunity for everyone to learn new nautical skills, build confidence, and enjoy time together on the water. There was lots of fun, teamwork, and adventure along the way.<\/p>\n

A lovely experience for all, and a wonderful way to celebrate the Swan\u2019s 126th birthday!<\/p>\n
