After an unscheduled detour on the way home we still managed to make the early ferry thanks to Bob and John our drivers:

And the coach well for the most part quite a quiet place:

We arrived back at Ripley 12 seconds after parents were told to meet us at 7.10pm which once again demonstrated how the well the trip had been planned, organised and controlled by Miss Marshall.

A big thank you to Miss Marshall for all the unseen effort over the past 18 months of planning that has gone into the trip and being a greeaat leader over the past 8 days for both students and the staff.

Still some videos to come….so check back next week.

The final morning saw a relaxing time with packing done people headed to the pool for last minute sun, games areas and the internet or just for a sit down!

A nice last night was had with plenty of variety for everyone whether it was the football (won’t mention too much about that!), shooting, acrobatics, pool or just sitting around and chilling there was something for everyone.

The sun was out again for the day at Port Aventura. Just about everyone braved the scariest rides. A good day was had by all and Miss Marshall got very wet!

The tunes were belting out on Monday night as we took over a Karaoke bar and entertained the tourists. Just about everyone did a turn. Some people had to be wrestled of the microphone to give others a chance and the teachers put on some fairly suspect performances that threattened to clear the bar!

There are somne photos below to give a taste of the evening but some videos will follow.
