Life is richer at Sts Peter and Paul!

Life is richer at Sts Peter and Paul!

Welcome to the official blog created by students to chronicle their experiences during Enrichment Weeks.

On these pages you’ll find personal accounts from our students discussing the wide range of activities they enjoyed both in college and off site.

Visits included residential trips to Iceland with the Geography department, France with the History department and Barcelona with the Maths department. Year 10 and 11 students will visited New York with the Business Studies teachers, while English staff and students explored creative writing skills in locations as diverse as Florida and Yorkshire, where students worked alongside a poet, a novelist and a playwright to set their imaginations on fire.

Back at College, students will take part in retreats to explore and deepen their faith. They will hear from inspirational speakers, attended careers workshops and take part in a host of music, dance and drama activities.

Our College Principal, Wendy White, said, “Enrichment Week is a fantastic opportunity for students to broaden their horizons and learn outside the classroom. It is experiences like these which testify to the diverse, exciting and challenging curriculum at Sts Peter and Paul Catholic College, and how we focus on the development of the whole child.”

Daily updates from home and abroad will allow students to record and share their memorable learning experiences with family and friends.

We hope that you enjoy reading about our experiences on these pages as much as we have enjoyed putting them together.

Look out for the next instalment of the blog following Enrichment Week in July 2015….

Skiing - Day 1

After a really early start (5.00 am) we had a really bumpy flight but arrived safely in Lyon. As soon as we started to climb into the mountains the snow started to fall to add to the massive amount of snow that was already there, it was amazing. Our hotel is really nice the rooms are really comfortable, warm and with lots of space. We have had a real laugh messing about in the snow round our hotel Jake and Sean spent half the time up to their necks in snow. Our first two days skiing have been amazing it was really hard at first but once we got used to it we were doing loads of slopes, lifts and some great falls. Every night we vote for the best fall of the day and the next day the winners have to wear a 'high vis vest' all day skiing. So far the winners have been Jake Burns, Declan Rice, Sam Doyle and Brandon O'Neill.
