Newsletter Hira Students 5 HIRA students from year 8 and 9 spent a fun-filled weekend at Calshot with Mrs Gilford and Mrs Hinks. The weekend was organised by Hampshire Playing Fields Association. The activities included archery, skiing, abseiling, a very scary big swing and a boat trip. The students were teamed up with visually impaired and physically disabled pupils from other schools and everyone participated in the activities, overcoming fears and phobias. HIRA students said 'it was awesome and brilliant!'
