✨ Shaping Our Future – Year 8 Trip ✨ Our Year 8 Shaping Our Future group had an incredible day today! ⭐ 🌿 They explored how spending time in nature can reduce stress & boost wellbeing. 🐝 They learnt all about beekeeping & why bees are so vital to our environment. 🎙️ They heard from inspirational speakers who shared powerful messages about ambition, resilience and future pathways. 🗺️ And they put their problem‑solving skills to the test with hands‑on transport‑planning activities. We’re so proud of how brilliantly they represented CLCA - curious, enthusiastic and ready to shape their futures. 💙
