As I am sure you can appreciate, the need to get information out quickly and effectively is all the more important in these uncertain times.

In order to get the best use out of this package for parents/guardians and for our school, I am …

The obstacle course was very tiring but fun and helped us bond together better as a year group. The rock climbing wall was challenging but was definitely worth the climb for the view. For the water activities we got to choose …
