Outdoor Learning residential - Loch Eil
In August/ September, or December groups of pupils travel to Outward Bound Scotland's Loch Eil Centre near Fort William to participate in a 5 day residential training course. Groups of 12 from each area consisting of pupils from 2 to 4 schools in an area undergo an intensive personal development programme.
Dynamic outdoor events including rock climbing, abseiling, raft building and an expedition give experience of real team work and personal challenge. Classroom sessions are also provided teaching transferable business skills such as skills in team working making presentations, finance and project management and planning.
