During the Easter holidays, 35 pupils from Years 9 to 12 and 4 staff members from Oswestry School travelled to the Italian Alps for a week’s winter sports.

Based in Aosta, the pupils worked hard on their skiing with several beginners achieving 3 star awards whilst the advanced skiers gained good off-piste experience with the ski school’s top instructor, many receiving the top 5 star award with distinction.

The snowboarders also did well with special mention going to Liam Chambers who, recommended by his instructor for Interski’s scholarship scheme, took part in a filmed assessment.

The pupils also enjoyed various après-ski activities, which included visits to a pizza restaurant, ice-cream parlour, bowling, disco and a presentation evening.

“It was a brilliant week, the pupils were a real pleasure to be with; they received many plaudits from rep, hotel staff, instructors for their friendliness and good behaviour.” said group leader Mrs Sue Morris, Director of Music at Oswestry School who already has plans in hand for next year’s trip!
