On Friday 9th February we left school to head to Nendaz, Switzerland. The journey was good and it seemed to pass very quickly, most people slept very well on the coach. When we arrived at our hotel we were a little tired but very excited to see the snow, get our skis fitted and, most importantly, see our rooms!

The skiing was such fun, with plenty of laughter and some falls but so good to see everybody making great progress. The days flew by and we had lots of snow and sunshine (until the last day) which made the ski conditions amazing. We enjoyed some fun activities in the evenings, too, The Big Quiz is always a good one, plus this year we went bowling and to the Carnival.

I think that we were all sad to leave and face the long journey home but we had a fantastic time and will be able to talk about all the memories for years to come.

Miss Clarke

‘The ski trip has and always will be an amazing part of my time at Presdales. Despite the long coach journey, our week in Switzerland was unforgettable. No one can describe the feeling of skiing down a mountain with your friends and teachers, admiring the blue skies, snowy mountains and warm sun. Thank you to Miss Clarke and all teachers involved for organising a spectacular trip!’

And from a parent

‘I would just like to thank you and all the teaching team that supported the girls on the recent Ski Trip, My daughter came home having had the very best of times. She really enjoyed the week, particularly the skiing. Kind regards and many thanks again,’

‘I was so nervous about skiing and especially about going on the chair lifts but I loved everything. I cannot wait to go again and hopefully I can get even better.’

‘The 2018 ski trip is something I will never forget….as it was AMAZING. All of the teachers really looked after us.’
