OUT AND ABOUT Bonding Days
In their first week as Godolphin and Latymer students, our new Year 7s enjoyed a week of ice-breaker sessions, bonding days and team-building exercises that included a trip to Walton Firs Activity Centre and a treasure hunt around the school. Meanwhile our Sixth Formers also took part in bonding activities and there was a picnic in the ecology garden for our new IB students.
