Students Take to the Sea on Annual Sailing Trip

A group of our Year 9 and 10 students from the Academy took part in our annual Sailing Trip - and what an adventure it was!

Over seven unforgettable days, students lived aboard an ocean-going yacht, sailing along the South Coast while learning to helm, navigate, raise sails, cook for the crew and work together as a team. From long days at sea and night watches to exploring beautiful coastal towns and enjoying well-earned beach barbecues, every day brought new challenges and lifelong memories.

The trip wasn't just about learning to sail - it was about building confidence, resilience, leadership and teamwork. Watching our students step outside their comfort zones, support one another and grow in confidence throughout the week was something truly special.

A huge thank you to everyone who made the trip possible, especially the incredible volunteer Afterguard from the @ronasailingprojectrsp, whose enthusiasm, expertise and encouragement helped make this such a memorable experience.

We're so proud of every student who embraced the adventure!
