It has been a lively and memorable week in the boarding house, filled with adventure, laughter, and plenty of opportunities for boarders to challenge themselves and unwind with friends. Despite the unpredictable weather, spirits remained high as students embraced every activity with enthusiasm and determination.
One of the week’s highlights was an exciting trip to Go Ape, where boarders braved the rain to take on the high ropes course. Demonstrating courage and resilience, students climbed towering platforms, navigated challenging obstacles high above the ground, and zoomed along exhilarating zip lines. The experience not only tested their balance and bravery but also encouraged teamwork and trust, as boarders supported and motivated one another throughout the course. Trust falls and team challenges further strengthened friendships and helped build confidence in a fun and supportive environment.
Back on site, the activities continued across the extensive 50-acre campus and excellent sports facilities at MHV. Boarders made the most of the swimming pool, enjoying both energetic sessions and relaxed time in the water. Others took to the golf course to practise their swing, while lawn games provided a chance for friendly competition and laughter in the fresh air. Table tennis proved especially popular, with students eagerly taking part in fast-paced matches and informal tournaments.
The week also offered plenty of opportunities to relax and recharge. A cosy movie night provided the perfect end to a busy day, with boarders gathering together to watch Frozen. The evening was filled with comfort, laughter, and a strong sense of community, as students enjoyed spending time together in a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Overall, the week offered a wonderful balance of adventure and relaxation. Boarders had the chance to try new experiences, develop confidence, and strengthen friendships, while also enjoying quieter moments to unwind. With such a wide range of activities available, students have truly made the most of everything boarding life at MHV has to offer.
It has been a fantastic week, and everyone is already looking forward to the next opportunity for adventure.
