Sts Peter and Paul Catholic College: Skiing

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 2

We woke up to a cloudy day that soon thawed out into beaming rays of sunshine it was so hot we were taking layers off rather than putting them on. Today we started off on a steep green run plenty of us had a close up view of the snow as our faces seemed to be spending a lot of time in the snow. With help from the brilliant instructors the beginners soon progressed and soon had the courage to move onto blue slopes. With this confidence brought speed and some really well controlled skiing from all of the groups. Soon after our skiing finished our Après ski began and tonight it was multi sports where Luke Prescott beat everyone at Table Tennis then resorted to his phone after a humiliating defeat by his cousin Matthew. Holly Quinn and Neve McMullen dominated the trampolines with their close rival Ben Prescott. After a good hour at the sports centre we worked up an appetite and devoured some take away pizzas.
