S4 Challenge 2008 September 29, 2008
Posted by Bill in : A Curriculum for Excellence, Challenges, Experiential Learning, Outdoor Learning , 2commentsDue to a reduced number of Schools available to join the event this year we ran a watersports based challenge at Levenhall Lagoons. Knox academy won the event with a fast run to claim the earth ball in the final event. The pupils as always were fantastic and once again support from the staff in the schools made the event a success. We hope that more teams will be able to make our next challenges and look forward to seeing all the schools at these and next years challenges. The challenges are a fantastic opportunity for pupils to take part in team based challenges and of course have fun and as with this challenge it illustrates that we do have many, skilled confident, enthusiastic, responsible and successful secondary pupils within East Lothian.
S6 Outdoor Challenge 2007 December 1, 2007
Posted by Bill in : Challenges, Outdoor Learning , 3commentsCongratulations to Preston Lodge High School for taking home the trophy from this years challenge at Yellowcraig. Once again a fantastic performance from all the East Lothian Secondary School S6 teams. The wet weather didn’t bother our teams - they just got on with it. I had the opportunity this year to see more of the teams around the challenges and it was a pleasure to meet them and see them work so well together. These confident individuals are an advertisement for East Lothian Education. We wish them all well in there future adventures. Thanks again to all the staff in the schools who let this happen and of of course the Rangers for their support.
