St John's School Porthcawl


Military Challenge

Posted on March 13, 2010 by admin

On Friday 12th March a group of 5 Year 10s and 5 Year 9s attended a military challenge at Margam Park, to compete against other schools. The challenges were difficult and required a lot of concentration. Challenges included using rope, barrels, poles etc to move equipment (and the team) across ‘swamps and snowfields’. There was also a quiz and maths questions. We found it hard work but fun, and it improved our teamwork skills. We came 8th, but we all enjoyed the experience.
