Grade 8 Orientation Course

The grade 8 boys new to Glenwood spent an invigorating and exciting few days undergoing our Orientation programme. This takes place, for the most part, on the grounds of the military base on the Bluff. Not only is the school ethos explained, but the boys get a good grounding in a number of school activities. The pictures below give some indication of their experience.

The boys are divided into groups and each group participates in different activities. The soccer groups are seen in action here.
