Quotes of the day

Jayson: Ooooo, yes I can be!

3) My wetsuit is so tight there is no chance of water entering it

4) Pupil 1: Are bulls born with metal rings in their noses.
Pupil 2: Of course not, it is just for style

2) Is this Tina the Turner?

The week-long Tiree trip will involve an  8-hour mini bus ride to the town of Oban, on Scotland's west coast. The party will be leaving from the school on Sunday 8th July so we can take the early ferry out to Tiree on the Monday morning. This in itself is a four-hour sea journey.

Once on the island, we will stay together and have exclusive use of Alan Stevenson House where we will lodge for the entire week. The island itself which is often described as the 'Hawaii of Scotland' offers extensive sandy beaches and an array of outward bound activities. 

We are very much looking forward to this fantastic experience.
