Phab Week 2023

L ast summer’s Phab Week was at the Pioneer Centre in Shropshire. Nestled in the serene beauty of a forest, it served as the perfect setting for a life-changing experience. With an array of outdoor activities like rock climbing, abseiling, raft building and zip lining, all guests were encouraged to participate and discover their adventurous side. Indoors, we found ourselves engaged in caving, archery, fencing and the beloved bouncy castle. For many, these activities marked a chance to step out of their comfort zone and savour unforgettable moments. Sunday brought a special treat – we were surprised with a trip to the Hippodrome in Birmingham city centre to see a spectacular performance of The Lion King. This was a captivating experience for the whole group. Monday was a day of encounters with exotic animals. Snakes, spiders, owls, hedgehogs, and more fascinating creatures paid a visit to the Pioneer Centre, but the surprises didn’t end there, and we were later treated to a mind boggling magic show. The day concluded with the much-anticipated annual Phab Disco, where everyone dressed in their finest and danced to DJ Rash’s Disco extravaganza. Throughout the week we faced exhilarating adventures and challenges

week, and to Mr Cataldo, Mr Wilson, Mrs Hazan, Mrs Knight, Mrs Omert, Latha and Oge for their invaluable contributions. Lastly, we extend our deepest gratitude

that tested our physical and mental limits. Whether conquering the climbing wall or paddling on the raft, students and guests worked together, providing mutual encouragement to push past their comfort zones. Confidences grew, barriers were dismantled, and hidden strengths were unearthed. A heartfelt thank you goes out to the Upper Sixth Form team for crafting such a special

to Mr Flower for his incredible dedication and tireless work making Phab Week an enduring success over the past two years.
