The London Trip 2007
September 22nd 2007 and we were off to London, to visit The London Dungeon, the Science Museum, Victoria Apollo to see ‘Wicked’ and The London Eye. We began at the dungeons enjoying the gruesome view of our past history. After our tour we made our way to the Science Museum where we spent an hour and a half benefiting from the scientific displays and attractions. From here we went to the Apollo Theatre to see a matinee performance of ‘Wicked’ a musical centred on the story of the witches from ‘The Wizard of Oz’.
We then took a break for dinner sampling the many delights Pizza Hut in Victoria had to offer. Finally our last excursion was a flight on The London Eye. The sights of London in the evening were absolutely stunning and everyone was astonished by the array of lights spread at our feet.
To the hotel and to bed.
Breakfast at 7.30am, a lot of weary students and staff ate their way through breakfast. The manageress pulled me aside at the end to comment on how good she thought the students had behaved. She went as far as to say that we were the best students she had ever had stay at the hotel…to say I was impressed with the students is putting it mildly.
Finally off to Thorpe Park where we spent a fun filled day getting absolutely soaking wet and being hurtled through the atmosphere at great speeds. The trip was a rounding success, the students were a delight to take along and every one had a fantastic time.

Top 10% Pat on the Back Paris Trip
On the 8, 9 and 10 June 88 students and 12 staff from both East and West Campus had a wonderful weekend in Paris. When we got into Paris, all 100 of us descended on McDonalds. They didn’t know what hit them! With tummies filled we then travelled to our hotel. After sorting rooms out everyone went to bed as a long day at Euro Disney awaited us the next day. We spent an excellent day in Euro-Disney scaring ourselves silly on the roller-coasters and chasing Mickey Mouse around all day. The weather was very hot and it was very busy but no one could possibly get lost due to our lovely red t-shirts! At the end of the day we spent an hour shopping in the Disney village and then went on to a shopping centre for yet more shopping, dinner and in some cases even more shopping! We then returned to the hotel and had to pack as we needed to be up, ready and with our suitcases on the coach at 7.30am! There were a few weary faces (included one or two staff!) but we all had breakfast, sang Happy Birthday to one of our party and started off on our Paris Tour. We toured around Paris taking in all the sites and having a very interesting time getting around the maddest roundabout in the world namely around the Arc De Triomphe. I still don’t know how we made it with out crashing as Paris traffic is absolutely mad! We stayed alive and the drivers got a well deserved round of applause as we moved down to the river for our River Seine boat tour. We cruised the Seine for an hour passing such sites as the Eiffel Tower, Notra Dame, The Louvre and much more of the stunning Paris scenery. We then returned to the coaches and headed for home.
The students on the trip were an absolute credit to the school and behaved impeccably
all weekend. We had total strangers coming up to us saying how polite and well behaved
our students were.
It was real pleasure to organise and run this trip as the students were all absolutely
magnificent. Well done to everyone involved and I look forward to similar trips in the
future.

High Ropes 2007
Willen Lake Review 2006-2007
Willen High Ropes Course 4th June 2007
On Monday the 4th of June Miss. Cowling, Mr. Wardle and several other teachers as well as the pupils chosen of course, all went on the Green House Pat on the Back trip to Willen Lake High Ropes Course. We were told to put on our harnesses and they gave most of us wedgies. It was really uncomfortable. You had to hold on to your harness and anything else. There was a zip wire that also held you up. The hardest thing was trying to fall off because you would just be dangling in mid-air.
Thank you to all the teachers for a great afternoon.
