Thank you very much @blairvadachoec.bsky.social for having us this week. You taught our children so much, mainly about themselves and how capable and wonderful they are. We can’t thank you all enough. It is a very special place with dedicated, amazing instructors. Enjoy the well earned break!
We could not agree more.
A big thank you to the St Bart's staff for giving up their personal time to make this experience happen for the young people and a special mention to all the people behind the scenes that help enhance the young people's journey through education. 👍🌳🏞️

Final fling into the challenge course. Bringing together all the learning from the four days. Absolutely amazing team to work with, the pinnacle of what young people can achieve with an outdoor education residential.
Another fantastic week hosting @stbarts1.bsky.social and Drummore Primary
The bus should be arriving in Glasgow shortly.
Everyone has achieved so much especially pushing their comfort zones, well done 👍 🌳🏞️

Day 3 - #StBartholomewsBV26
@stbarts1.bsky.social @blairvadachoec.bsky.social
Climbing everything. We started indoors to get used to the equipment before flying up the tree. I then witnessed the fastest group of 6 ever to climb the pole, less than ten mins 🤟
Then, splash and dash up McAulays.
Brilliant day in the woods creating and playing

Lots of questions about this morning’s early water open swim to the other side. Luckily the centre were providing “special oil” to lather up in to keep warm and help avoid the jelly fish and sharks! 🪼🦈🏊

The cave rave extreme version! This team is incredible! We had to change the route slightly after meeting another group, so we chose the hardest gaps possible. I was very impressed by everyone in this team.
Awesome weekend everyone. Well done to all #HolyCrossBV26
A lovely shore walk to round up our visit! 🐚🌊⭐️ a great opportunity for our young people to be inspired and think about local #conservation and #sustainability efforts 🤍🍃🌏 if anyone comes home with a pet crab, I can assure you we warned them 🦀 #HCResidential2026 #HolyCrossBV26
