Sixth Form Adventure Begins: Year 12 Takes on Challenges at Go Ape

Sixth Form involves much more than just being able to study only the subjects you’re interested in. It involves embracing things that are difficult, making decisions and challenging yourself. It is also fun, collaboration and a journey of self-discovery.

A visit to Go Ape in Thetford Forest therefore seemed like an ideal trip for the students to embrace all these elements.

All the students took part in ground based activities which involved puzzle solving and teamwork. The students also had the option to climb the trees on the high ropes course. This is a self-belay course so the students must pay close attention to the instructions on how to stay safe as they clip themselves on and off of the different obstacles at the top of the trees. There was also plenty of time to chat and get to know each other, catching up with old friends, getting to make new ones and cheering on their teams.

After a heavy downpour, the sun eventually caught the mood and joined in the fun. Everyone enjoyed their day embracing the muddy clothes, rising to the challenges and building the confidence and resilience ready for any challenge the future might hold even if it requires being rescued from a zip wire!
