Back from the States

The ski trip to America with 94 students was exhausting, amazing, and included:

• Planet Hollywood, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty
• shopping in New York
• five days of skiing
• cinema, bowling, disco, quiz night and a Ben & Jerry’s evening.

There were problems:

• many tears, due to friends, boyfriends, homesickness, illness and injury
• the odd twisted knee
• sixth formers pulling ski instructors
• and, most impressively, myself and two students managing to fall off a chair lift!

Overall though, I had great fun, I really enjoyed making the trip a success and my impression of the students at Oxted School has been raised even higher.
