JCS World Challenge

The new team destined for Tanzania 2024 went out on our first (7 mile ish!) training walk today. A chilly one, but all walked well and some settled into their new boots 🥾

Over 40 students came to the launch meeting this morning to show they are interested in taking the opportunity to travel to Tanzania in 2024! So exciting!! 🇹🇿

Exciting! We are thrilled to announce Tanzania as our expedition destination in 2024! The launch letter & itinerary has been sent to Year 11 & 12 students & their parents. It’s time to get fitter, learn new skills, experience a new culture & make a positive impact #Tanzania2024

This is so exceptionally British

And the last one for now 😊 🇲🇦

And from Team 2’s project phase

A few memories from Team 2…

Team 1 have landed! That's JCS over and out from Morocco! 🇲🇦

Safe journey home, Team 1! Can’t wait to swap all our travel stories!!

Team 1 are checking in! What an incredible adventure we have had! The girls have been amazing, but they all agree there is a reason why it is called World "Challenge" 😉. See you all soon!

Team 2 - the Google Drive is set up ready for the collecting of all of our photos. You will have an email in your gmail with the link. I’ve added my phone pics but will add camera ones tmrw. Try and keep it organised by expedition phase so it’s easy for others to use! 🥴 📸🤳🏾😊

Students would like to remind parents that our flight number is EZY8894 and arrives back to the North Terminal Gatwick at 14.30 on Monday! Everyone's looking forward to a 🤗!

Team 2 recommends the Bahia Palace if you are looking for an activity in Marrakech this afternoon. 70 Dirhams pp and it is very cool and shady in there!!

Team 1 have thoroughly enjoyed some well earned R&R in Essaouira! Sun, sand, sea and shopping! Heading back to Marrakech for the final time before embarking on the return leg! 🌊☀️🇲🇦

@AHucklebridge You are welcome. It was a pleasure to travel with Ollie and the rest of the team. They were all so positive and capable; they should be so proud of what they have achieved, both individually and together 😊

@JCSWorldChall I want to say a big thank you to all the teachers and guides who made Ollie’s time away a truly amazing experience. Hopefully you can relax now and enjoy the rest of your summer x

Home!!! Team 2 all back safe and well and waiting for our bags.

@jjinfocus They are very lucky to have had such an experience! It was an amazing trip in so many ways!

@JCSWorldChall Congratulations from an ex-Headboy in the ‘60s !! We never did anything like this in our day. Maybe a visit to Bruges in Belgium 🤔

Team 2 celebrate the end of a fantastic expedition with a final meal overlooking the Djemaa el Fna square. There have been challenges but overall a brilliant 2 weeks! Homeward bound tomorrow!

Thank you @easyJet for our complimentary choccie bars and shout out for the whole team on EZY8896 - the cabin crew were brilliant and clearly impressed with the team’s building and trekking efforts in Morocco! A great end to our epic adventure!! 🇲🇦 ✈️ 🍫

Team 1 finally pulled themselves out of the shops for a trip to the beach! Some even braved an Atlantic swim 🌊🥶! Heading back to Marrakech in the morning, where I'm sure we'll all wish we were back in the sea!
