Last week, our year 7 students were brimming with excitement as they set off for an action-packed week residential at Kilve, an activity centre on the Somerset coast.
A long-standing tradition that students remember for the rest of their time at OHS and beyond, this annual residential trip provides a great opportunity to develop resilience, overcome fears, work as a team and form new friendships to last a lifetime.
With a broad range of outdoor pursuits on offer, many students inevitably discovered a new favourite activity! Over the course of the week, they had the opportunity to try paddle boarding, sailing, kayaking, climbing, mountain boarding, mountain biking, high ropes, beach games, shelter building, and abseiling.
Amid all of the high-adrenaline physical activities, students were also able to take part in a sandcastle building competition, as well as enjoying a relaxed afternoon hunting for fossils on the beach.
