School Ski Course Success
On Saturday 28th February 2008, 30 pupils and 4 staff
from Bannockburn High School began their journey to the Italian resort of
Pila situated in the Aosta Valley. The group travelled by coach on an
over-night journey, passing through the Mont Blanc Tunnel and arriving at
the Hotel Châteu in the early afternoon.
The coach was brand new with all mod cons and the drivers were very friendly
and helpful. Each pupil would agree that the day-and-a-half bus voyage was
definitely worth the skiing experience. All participants enjoyed taking part
in skiing lessons. Throughout the week, the group spent a total of 24 hours
on the slopes. The beginner groups started out on nursery slopes where they
learned the basics of skiing, such as how to “snow-plough” and stop. By the
end of the week all pupils had made significant progress in learning to ski.
The conduct of pupils through out the excursion was
outstanding and they are a credit to the school community. Pupils injured
when skiing during heavy snow on the Wednesday continued to make the most of
the trip for the remaining days and participated in the evening activities.
As well as spending time on the slopes, the group also took part in numerous
après-ski activities to amuse themselves each night. For full details click

P7 Visit
Approximately 120 P7 pupils will visit the school next Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday. During this time they will meet with their new classes, teachers
and generally familiarise themselves with the school before the permanent
move in August.
