ACS Year 10 - Week Without Walls

It was a long flight for the latest group from ACS Beirut to come to Sri Lanka, but at 9:40am there they were in the arrivals hall, ready for their adventure. After 6 months of meticulous planning with Steve Coffey, the trip coordinator, the start of their Borderlands Sri Lanka experience started with being greeted by a blast of hot, humid air as they left the airport. 46 students, 5 teachers have traveled all the way from Beirut to spend a week with us at Borderlands - after a hugely successful Year 8 programme back in May, we are delighted to welcome our second group of students from the school. Exhausted after their long flights most of the kids slept on the journey up to Borderlands, but amazingly they found the energy to have a full afternoon of challenges and team building exercises led by our excellent group of facilitators.

The afternoon ended with a refreshing and much needed river swim, followed by dinner and a camp fire. As I write the girls seem to still be gossiping away - I fear their early rise tomorrow will be a struggle! But tomorrow brings a full day of new adventures - so tune tomorrow to catch up on Day 2's events.
