Sailing 2016

21st May – 25th May During the short half term break, thirty students from years 7-10 and three members of staff went on a five-day sailing trip to Beidaihe. This was Wellington’s 5th annual trip. Our hosts, Beijing Sailing Centre, have an excellent beachside location, and all pupils and staff had an educational and fun-packed week. All pupils had a chance to develop skills in Sailing and Windsurfing and the progress made over the week was impressive. Many congratulations go to Ally and Leo; they achieved their Sailing Silver award from IYT and are qualified to take non-sailors out on their boats! There were some great evenings with fireworks, bonfires, volleyball and beach football. The whole trip fostered friendships, developed team and leadership skills and will have embedded rich memories that pupils will cherish for many years to come.
