Year 11 Study Day

Year 11 students recently participated in a really successful study day. Students were privileged to listen to our guest motivational speaker Daniel Bull, mountaineer and adventurer who revealed his own personal story and experiences . Daniel is in the Guinness Book of World Records and has successfully climbed Mt Everest and the North face of the Eiger in the Swiss Alps.

He treated the students to first hand audio visual coverage of his Everest ascent and they experienced what it feels like to breathe at high altitude. Daniel also outlined his recent exploits in Antarctica and described the extreme cold he endured and the challenges of crossing this vast ice desert. It was a pleasure to listen to Daniel and hear his amazing stories and how he had to endure adversity to achieve his goals.

Later in the day the students participated in two study skill seminars, dealing with time management and the variety of study techniques.
