S1 Benmore Residential Experience

We are delighted with how well the S1 Benmore Residential experience ran.  As you can see the pupils seem to have had a fantastic time with most of them achieving their potential in being successful learners.  Many overcame inner fears such as heights or confidence on the water.  Some discovered self-confidence which allowed them to recognise their potential as a ‘leader' or ‘team player' in group situations, and others simply made new friends while having fun.  All of them enjoyed the level of responsibility they were given while being encouraged to think differently, and contribute effectively in tasks they were given, as well as their working outside their comfort zone.  All in all they developed many skills that are tremendously beneficial to their adjusting to Senior School life.  I have not yet heard of anyone, pupil or member of staff, who did not regard this as a very positive experience.
