Three S4 pupils have recently returned from three weeks in Aberdyfi (Aberdovey), Wales, where they completed their Skills for Life Award from the Outward Bound Trust. Bobbi Kennedy, Caitlyn Thomson and Ailiesh McInnes, impressed their Outward Bound instructors when they visited the Loch Eil centre earlier in the year and were subsequently offered a Scholarship to attend the three weeks intensive course in the summer. The girls jumped at the chance and have been raving about their once-in-a-lifetime experience, on their return. The girls had to complete many challenging and daunting tasks in order to be awarded their Skills for Life Award at the end of the intensive course. The girls had to learn basic skills and had to take part in many group-based activities in and around the centre before the real adventures began. Day 5 saw the group of eager youngsters take part in a mountain-rescue exercise where they had to think creatively and ensure that they were communicating effectively with one another.
