Once a year, we go on a residential trip. We visit different places such as Skern Lodge and Wildside, near Hemyock, where we learn lots of new skills. These trips are great for building our self-esteem and spending time together in a more social environment.

In October 2025, Oak Class enjoyed an unforgettable three-day residential at Skern Lodge! From surfing in crashing waves to conquering the high ropes and rafting down the river, every moment was packed with excitement and challenge. We worked together to solve clues on scavenger hunts and mystery tours, tackled muddy assault courses, and even soared through the air on zip lines!

Throughout the trip, we faced our fears, supported each other, and discovered the true meaning of teamwork and courage. It was an amazing experience full of laughter, adventure, and memories we will never forget!
