Tree Top Trekking

On Friday, May 27th we took our class trip to Tree Top Trekking at Horseshoe Valley.  it was an amazing experience and I am so proud of all of the students that attended.  Several students overcame their fear of heights for the day and attempted the climbing courses and zip lines.  It was an excellent example of GRIT and RESILIENCE in the real world.
