Ski Trip to Pila, Aosta

Students have just returned from the fourth annual ski trip to Pila, Italy. The trip catered for a wide range of abilities from complete beginner to the advanced skiers. Students took part in six days of ski instruction through the Interski Ski School and covered most of the seventy eight kilometres of slopes at the resort. All students had a fantastic and memorable experience. Student's behaviour was praised by instructors and resort staff and the group have a chance of winning the "Group of the Season" award.

Apart from the skiing, there were many highlights from the trip, including amazing Karaoke by the Year 11 students, unbelievable pizza eating by all of the group, and the St John's students leading the way at the Interski disco night.

One of our students, Beth Purdy, was videoed at the resort by Interski as part of the scholarship process. Be this an advanced skier, receiving five star distinction this year. If successful, she would be given a full scholarship by Interski to become a ski instructor. This is a very competitive and prestigious award with only two skiers from nine hundred being videoed this week. We would like to wish her the best of luck in the next stages of the process.
