Ski Trip 2025 – A Week to Remember

This year, our students and staff embarked on an unforgettable adventure to the Austrian Alps
for Ski Trip 2025. From the moment they arrived, the week was filled with new challenges,
laughter, and plenty of snow!

After a safe journey and a warm welcome at their hotel, the group settled in, collected their ski
gear, and prepared eagerly for the days ahead. With a hearty dinner and some well-deserved
rest, anticipation for the slopes was high.

The first morning of skiing dawned bright and sunny, providing the perfect conditions for both
beginners and more experienced skiers. Even those new to the sport quickly found their
rhythm, growing in confidence as the day unfolded. That evening, a lively quiz night tested
knowledge and brought out a competitive spirit that set the tone for the rest of the trip.

As the week progressed, students continued to surprise with their progress. Experienced skiers
challenged themselves on more advanced runs, while beginners impressed everyone with their
determination and rapid improvement. Evening entertainment ranged from bingo to
celebrating two birthdays, adding extra excitement and a personal touch to the trip.

Soon, the beginners were ready to move beyond the nursery slopes, joining the advanced
skiers higher up the mountain. The more confident members of the group even experimented
with backwards skiing, much to the delight of onlookers. Evening activities brought plenty of
laughter too, especially when “bum boarding” tested everyone’s steering skills—none more so
than Mr Kelly and Timothy, whose questionable technique provided endless amusement.

Midweek, fresh snowfall transformed the mountains into a breathtaking winter wonderland.
The new conditions made skiing even more magical, while the evenings offered light-hearted
fun through team games and unusual taste-testing challenges that had everyone in stitches.

As the final day arrived, the mountains were blanketed in fresh powder, giving the group one
last chance to enjoy pristine pistes in perfect conditions. The week concluded with a
celebratory awards ceremony, recognising the achievements, progress, and memorable
moments of everyone involved.

From first-time skiers learning the ropes to seasoned skiers embracing new challenges, Ski Trip
2025 offered a blend of adventure, achievement, and joy. The week was a true highlight of the
