Over February half-term some of our students were lucky enough to take part in a fantastic Ski-Trip to Italy. And what a week it was, filled with pizza, pasta and lots of pistes! We ventured to Italy on the first ski trip for Seniors since 2020 with 93 smiling faces.
Each day, the students undertook some high quality skiing, saw some breathtaking views and experienced Italy’s finest cuisine. Alongside the extra evening activities that filled the students with joy after a full day of skiing! These included; sledging, ice skating, shopping and indulging in crepes
and pizza.
We had some fantastic ski instructors who really brought on the students skiing abilities. It was a deep joy to behold. We received some heart warming feedback from Umberto who quoted, “These students are the nicest group I have ever taught”. Westholme qualities shining through!
Upon their return after half-term, members of staff who took part in the trip summarised the trip brilliantly in a whole school assembly in the Croston Theatre.
Enthusiastically led by Mr Barnett, they spoke of their own personal experiences and highlights of the trip. These ranged from the delicious local ice-cream menus, enjoying the food in the hotel restaurant, marvelling at the fantastic views of the surrounding mountains, approving of how well-behaved the students were, and making fantastic memories. Overall, it sounded like a pretty great trip!
After this they played a video of the highlights (you can watch below), which had been created and edited by Dr Watson. There were plenty of highlights, bringing back plenty of good memories for all those that had been involved and including some special sound effects along the way that brought laughs from students and staff alike.
Finally, Dr Watson collected a present that had been bought especially for Mr Barnett, a big fan of 80’s ski attire, and presented it to him on stage. Luckily for everyone involved, Mr Barnett decided to model the contents of the present on stage. We’re sure you’ll agree that it’s a great look!
