"In Delphi we went surfing. We all had to learn how to stand on the board."
Holly Cullen
"When I was in Delphi my highlights were the watersports, when we went kayaking we saw a baby seal and when we went surfing. I caught the best wave!"
Bogdan Dumitru
"The highlight of Delphi for me was the raft building. Despite the struggle of putting on the wetsuits, it was really enjoyable to try and successfully build a raft. It was also very beneficial in helping the class and in particular new students got closer."
Tim Murphy
"The last night when we bonded with each other was definitely the highlight since we all became better friends and got to know more about each other."
James O'Brien
"The highlights of Delphi for me were seeing a baby seal when we were kayaking and going surfing on the beach."
Charlie Ward-Pratt
"For me, the highlight of our TY Delphi trip was spending time with my class and getting to know them better. I really enjoyed bouldering. It was difficult because the rocks were slippy as it was raining, but it felt good when you knew you had completed the climb."
Anna Baker
"My favourite activity in Delphi was surfing because I had never done it before and it ended up being really enjoyable. I also really enjoyed the highropes course because it was scary and exhilarating. On the last night we had a campfire which was really fun!"
Molly McClean
"The highlight of the Delphi trip for me was getting to share a room with the rest of the girls. It was so nice to be around them for such a long time. We got to know each other better than we ever would have at school. We stayed up late at night just talking to each other about anything and everything. I feel like we have all gotten closer since."
Megan Wynne
"I loved surfing and catching some waves."
