The new school year will commence on Wednesday 1st September and Year 10 (E25) will be taking part in a number of activities in and out of school to revisit the underpinning principles of Crew and explore why this will be important in the achievement of our Common Mission. Our Guiding Question for the week will be How can we, as a Crew, prepare ourselves for our next climb?
Walk on the Monsal Trail
On Friday 3rd September, students will work together to complete the Monsal Trail walk in the Peak District. Students will arrive at school and have a briefing and kit check before heading out into the Peak District to complete the walk. It is absolutely essential that students arrive at school no later than 8.00am so that the register and kit check can be completed before leaving school. It is also essential that all students bring all of the kit on the kit list so that they are fully prepared for the expedition; this includes a packed lunch and water to drink. If there are any problems in getting the appropriate kit before the start of term, please email your child’s Crew Leader. Please ensure that you make a copy of the Consent and Medical Form and complete it, to return to Crew Leaders before the day of the hike.
Crew Activities in school
On the other two days (Wednesday and Thursday), students will complete Crew-building and personal reflection activities. Each day students will start and finish at the usual times and will be expected to wear sensible clothing adhering to the school dress code, as well as bringing their usual equipment and devices. Normal school dinner options will be available as usual on these two days.
