Tall Ships 2018 - Pre-trip meeting

Last night's meeting was arranged so that the group could meet each other and find out more about the Tall Ships week in July.

Penny (Virtual School) and Kate (Residential Support Worker) will be going on the trip. They started by congratulating the young people on being chosen to go on the trip as a result of their achievements this year.

Kerry (Youth Worker) and our Y12 mentor gave the group lots of information including what to bring (e.g. a sleeping bag) and what not to bring (e.g. high heels). They were shown photos from last year's trip which looked amazing!

At the end of the meeting, there was a lot of excitement in the room and we are all looking forward to setting sail in July!

The group are also looking forward to the traditional first night supper of fajitas!
