Dubai Netball Tour 2011
In May this year, a decision was made to take 2 of the school’s Netball Teams on a tour abroad. However, we didn’t want to do things lightly, so we decided to offer the students a fantastic cultural experience as well and tour the United Arab Emirates and visit the fabulous city of Dubai.
To ensure the tour took place a lot of hard work has occured from 3 staff members and we have had to look at various fundraising initiatives to raise enough money for the students to go. We have now reached our goal and the tour is all booked and finalised ready to depart over the Easter Holidays in 2011.
The 7 day tour will include the girls playing 3 Netball fixtures whilst over in Dubai, training sessions at Dubai College and a whole range of excursions, with examples being a Jeep Desert Safari experience and a visit to the famous Atlantis the Palm Aquadventure Waterpark. This will be a tremendous life experience for our girls, not only will it massively develop their netball skills, but it will hopefully educate our students about the diverse cultural experiences in the world today!
