Survival Student 2023 complete! We are on the way back with a happy and well fed team. ETA back at school 3pm!

[TPS OutdoorEd @TPS_OutdoorEd]

Is there a better way to end the first day of our Year 8 Survival Student trip than a night abseil into a cave??? 🧗🦇

[TPS OutdoorEd @TPS_OutdoorEd]

A few videos from today’s kayaking and SUPing… with quite a few of the Year 8s choosing to spend most of the time in the water than on the boats! We had a very competitive game of kayak polo too! #SurvivalStudent #OutdoorEd

I’m so honoured to have been able to experience this live. The choir @TPS_musicdept is from a state school made up of a highly talented group of young people aged 12 to 18. They should be extremely #proud! @ladygaga please give it a watch! #shallow

[TPS_musicdept @TPS_musicdept]

Who else has had the songs from our Paris tour on repeat since we’ve been back? I get goosebumps every time I hear Shallow performed in the church… @ladygaga what do you think? We hope you like it! #paris #church #harmonies #proud #resilience

An impromptu concert on the deck of P&O Pride of Canterbury in the wind and the rain. They were so amazing it started to draw a crowd. Lots of lovely comments from the public.👏 ^SH

[TPS OutdoorEd @TPS_OutdoorEd]

Wonderful twilight training session with colleagues from @SandringhamSch1 and @TPS_Hitchin huge thanks to workshop facilitators @hankin @hr_teacher and Scott Whorrod @SandEdTech

[TPS OutdoorEd @TPS_OutdoorEd]

Another afterschool kayaking session this week with Year 7s. We had some more great weather so everyone ended up in the water! A perfect opportunity for some slow-mo jumping! 68 @TPS_Hitchin students and counting now have their @BritishCanoeing Paddlesport Start award.

[Sam Hankin @hankin]

It's such a great time of the year to be out and about getting the coaching hours in 👊 #kayaking #instructor #pathwaytocoach

[HitchinScoutsAfloat @HitchScoutSail]

Did anyone fall in? No! But did they (all?) run and jump? 😉#funinthewater #coolingoffonawarmnight 💦

[Sam Hankin @hankin]

After nearly 5 years of planning & delivery... we've rolled out #Chromebooks to all students across the school - 1 to 1. Thanks @DellUK for working with us and for showcasing what we do. #BlendedLearning

One of my favourite school displays I've ever built... #computerscience in #space! With a to-scale model of @SpaceX Starship (vs our school), a dinosaur gravity indicator, code from the Apollo 11 lander & handmade rockets from my form. Hopefully to inspire the next @elonmusk!

[Sam Hankin @hankin]
