Back to newsYear 8 girls are back from their voyage with the Ocean Youth Trust
30th Mar 2022We were delighted to get this feedback from the skipper Holly:
“In all aspects this was the perfect first voyage to kick off a brand new season. Not only was the weather unseasonably on our side, but also the crew from Greig City Academy were fantastic. They were all communicative and competent, keen to listen to instructions when required. They showed each other and us a level of respect and politeness that gave us the impression of a strong foundation in such things being laid well at the school, and were collectively surprisingly mature for 12-13 year olds. They appear used to following a clear structure of: understanding the goal, attempting it, achieving the task, then enjoying the reward or praise - more so than I see from other groups, which made leading them in a sailing capacity easy. This group of young people represented themselves and their school very well. Many of them were super keen to return and I would be very happy to welcome any of them back! Ms Gilbert, the teacher who came with them, was great to have on board, had an excellent rapport with the young people and worked very well with the OYT South staff team.”
