Ski Trip 2026 – A Day of Fun, Growth, and Courage

We are incredibly grateful to Mrs. Tolmie and Mrs. Smith for their hard work, organization, and commitment in making this year’s intermediate ski trip another amazing success. This annual event is always a highlight for students and staff, and it would not be possible without their dedication.

This month, our school is focusing on the character trait Courage, and the ski trip offered a perfect real-life opportunity for students to practice bravery. Many children faced challenges such as long waits in the rental shop, uncomfortable ski boots, and the unfamiliar feeling of learning a new skill. These moments were genuinely hard, and it’s completely understandable, new experiences can feel big and overwhelming.

With patient encouragement, co-regulation from caring adults, and reminders of the strategies they’ve learned, many students worked through their discomfort and kept going. They showed resilience, tried something new, and ultimately felt proud of themselves. Their success came because they moved through the tough moments, an important reminder that courage grows when we don’t remove challenges but help students navigate them.

We are proud of our students for their bravery and grateful for the staff who made this meaningful learning experience possible.
