Challenge Finals |
In
September 2001 a team of St. Clare's students won the first heat of
this survival competition and guaranteed a place in the final, alongside
3 other teams from the UK.
The team was made up of first and second year IB students - Ralph
Evins, Toni Deavin, Camilla Lee, Ruth Weston, Emily Munther and Simon
Whittle.
After arriving in west Wales, the challenge started by being woken
at 4 am on Saturday and driven to the survival forest. The survival
scenario was that of a plane crash with the pilot badly injured. The
team had to work out where they were located, carry out first aid
and attempt to find a way to safety. Their emergency rations had to
last 2 days, they had to build a shelter, sleep out overnight, make
fires, catch and cook food, collect and filter water, make catapults
and fishing lines.
Although the team didn't triumph this time they were only 3 points
shy of the winners and scored excellent individual points and commendations.
A fantastic effort! |
