My last class trip or THE senior trip was full of excitement, uncertainty and nervousness. Our trips during DP were cancelled several times. What was meant to be our orientation trip for IBDP turned out to be a farewell trip after one and a half years. Due to COVID we were online for a long time therefore this trip in DP2 really gave us a chance not only to destress after the mock exams but also to spend an extended time with everyone in the grade.

This trip really allowed me to challenge myself as I did activities out of my comfort zone (LO1). We did abseil, canoeing and canyoning. During canyoning, teamwork was most vital as at different stages people helped pull each other up or guided them to slide down (LO5). I am scared of heights but everyone really encouraged me and I was able to make the big jumps during canyoning (LO1 and LO2).

Abseiling again involved lower myself from a height and during the first pitch I was a bit nervous but after completing that I was confident and then did the second pitch without any fear (LO1 and LO2). The canoeing was fun as partners were given activities to complete that involved trusting and communicating with ur partner. My partner was Zoe and we both were continuously communicating so all our activities were completed by us without any problems (LO5).
