Students from Gordano School have returned from an unforgettable Easter ski trip to Folgarida, Italy, where around 60 Year 10 and Year 12 students experienced an action-packed week of adventure, culture, and camaraderie.

The trip, organised in partnership with Max Ski, provided students with expert ski instruction in the stunning Italian Alps. Whether beginners or more experienced skiers, all participants benefited from high-quality tuition and made significant progress on the slopes over the course of the week.

Beyond skiing, the trip offered a rich cultural experience, with students enjoying authentic local Italian cuisine and immersing themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the region. Evenings were filled with a variety of engaging social activities, including karaoke, lively games nights, and a creative fashion show.

The trip exemplifies Gordano School’s commitment to providing exceptional extracurricular opportunities that extend far beyond the classroom. From international travel experiences to a diverse programme of enrichment activities, the school continues to offer an unrivalled range of opportunities that inspire, challenge, and engage students.

This ski trip is just one example of the school’s broader dedication to enrichment, as seen in its highly successful Activities Week and the extensive “Gordano Extra” programme, both of which showcase the breadth and vibrancy of opportunities available to students throughout the year.

Jason Boulton, Co-Director of Sixth Form and trip organiser said:
“We are incredibly proud to offer experiences like this ski trip, which not only develop new skills but also build confidence, resilience, and lasting friendships. The enthusiasm and conduct of our students throughout the week were exemplary, and it was fantastic to see them make the most of every opportunity.”

Gordano School continues to lead the way in delivering enriching extracurricular experiences, ensuring students benefit from a well-rounded education that prepares them for life beyond school.
