OSC Week Without Walls: Day 1

Entering our 10th year of working with the Overseas School of Colombo, Borderlands is really excited to welcome this year's Grade 9 Class to our riverside camp in Kithulgala. As part of their Week Without Walls programme, OSC has a dedicated commitment to learning and youth development through Outdoor Education.

This year's intake consists of 31 students accompanied by three teachers - Miss Sonalee, Miss Celine and Mr Britton. All ready for an adventure of a lifetime.

During their 4 nights with us they will hopefully face and overcome new challenges, test their comfort and confidence zones, and  emerge as richer and more rounded individuals, with an ability to work as a strong team by supporting, encouraging and communicating with one another on a new level.

Here are some images of the first day's activities:

It's all about communication and team work!
