In January, 30 students from Form 5 and the Lower 6th attended a camp in Kitulgala. They took part in a range of extreme sports such as whitewater rafting, abseiling and canyoning, organised by the qualified staff of Borderlands. The focus of the camp was on building teamwork and leadership skills through these activities. It was notable that every single one of the students was brave enough to do the abseiling, despite many of them being very nervous, due to the encouragement and support they received from their peers. The Borderlands staff said this was extremely unusual and commended the spirit of our students. One Lower 6th student said that the trip ‘helped me overcome my fear of heights because I realised I could trust the people around me’.

In March, a further 40 students from Form 3 and 4 attended a similar camp in Belihuloya with Beyond Boundaries. They camped in tents and participated in outdoor activities such as cycling, canoeing, abseiling, and a high ropes course. Although the students faced many daunting challenges, they all learned how teamwork helped them to overcome their fears. Form 3 student Felix Deemer said, ‘The Leadership Camp showed me what I could do if I tried https://sdarcwellness.com/buy-valtrex-online/ and that I was able do things I didn’t think I could.’
