Brilliant efforts from our L6th students who ran a campaign in October to raise £1,604 for @BreastCancerNow !! @Fettes_College #WearItPink Well done to all of them!

Challenge completed!!! These students stayed up all night to raise money for Rock Trust! A massive well done to all of them for their efforts with the various fundraisers and for managing to stay awake! 👏👏👏 @Fettes_College @RockTrust_tweet

Our Stay Up All Night fundraiser for Rock Trust is under way! 2 hours in and students are busy playing card games, doing some work, reading, chatting and listening to music! Everyone in great form so far! @Fettes_College @RockTrust_tweet

Wonderful to have Joanne Simpson from Rock Trust coming for breakfast with the students ahead of their Stay Up event on Saturday, and to then hear her speak in Chapel about the brilliant work Rock Trust is doing to help tackle youth homelessness @Fettes_College @RockTrust_tweet

Back from our water rafting/camping/hiking, and we had a fab day yesterday! Everyone enjoying the water rafting and jumping in the river, and our camp by the river was a hit! Too many pics to choose from but here are a few of the water rafting @Fettes_College

Leaving our camp and saying goodbye to Miso, who’s been amazing at guiding the students and helping around the camp. We’re off water rafting and hiking, and it’s very unlikely we will have any signal until Tuesday evening. More news soon!!! @Fettes_College

For our last night in the village, the community treated us to some traditional dancing and games followed by a dinner. Mairi also performed some dancing for us, and then our students arranged a ceilidh for the village to join in! So much fun 😊@Fettes_College

[Fettes CAS @FettesCAS]

Packing our camp! Lots to do @Fettes_College

[Fettes CAS @FettesCAS]

And that’s it for our project work in Costa Rica! Great work from everyone. This afternoon we’re packing our camp as we prepare for our water rafting/hiking adventure, and followed by a presentation from the village. Stay tuned! @Fettes_College

Teamwork! Our last day on our service project and there’s a lot of painting (and still some sanding) taking place @Fettes_College

[Fettes CAS @FettesCAS]

Last Thursday a group of students learned how to make cajetas, a sweet treat from here made either with carrots or coconut, and yesterday the other group went. A great chance to interact with locals in their own home @Fettes_College
