16th July 2009

This was one of the all time great trips of the Year. This trip superseded all others according to many students. The excitement and high adrenalin counteracted by the desperate need for strategy and sportsman like sharing was very clear. Students were well behaved and ended the day battered and so tired that the coaches were silent going home. It was a real action adventure that has in Dillon Henry’s words real made Yr 9 end on a high. Thanks to all of you who participated and assisted.

Mr Barnes and Mr Reeves were our staff champion veterans along with students like Louis Zaidman, Louise Kent, Anika Khanom, Heather Davies Onur Oksuz, Thomas Gower and many many others. Marina Vretos and Zehra Isiklar who looked like little hobbits in their paintball gear and Asim Rahman and Hasan Teran who shared their bullets when everyone on their team ran out.

Highly impressive work all round!

Special mention to Ms Dumas who took special care of one of our wounded. (The student is ok) The pictures will be shown next assembly.

Well done Yr 9!!

Mr Dow
