Boarding trip to The Enchanted Forest
On Sunday 2 October Kilgraston visited the Enchanted Forest and were treated to the most dazzling visuals and innovative design, all choreographed against a musical score that accompanied the pupils as they made their way around the stunning autumn woodland of Faskally Wood.
Niamh in Lower Sixth described the Enchanted Forest “as entering the grandest sensory room” which it certainly was in its ability to create the most unique experience.
This year’s theme ‘Together’ was certainly apt for our Sacred Heart Goal for this year of Social Awareness. Walking together around the event, leaving our own subtle imprint on the forest with its motion tracking projections, we came out a tiny bit closer, to each other, and to everything around.
A fantastic trip that set all our imaginations alight.

Ski Trip 2022
Over Easter, PE department staff Mrs Ferry, Miss Patton and Miss Dutch took a group of pupils to Austria on the first overseas ski trip since the start of the pandemic in 2020. The group of 23 pupils and staff went to Alpendorf, in the Eastern Alps and had a fantastic time. Here Martina writes about the trip:
The 2022 ski trip was to Alpendorf, Austria, a beautiful place with amazing landscapes. During the five days we spent there, we had a range of activities. In the evenings we took part in Alpine Coaster and Bowling, which helped us get along and have fun while mixing all together.
Every day we had a buffet breakfast with many different savoury and sweet options, then every day we got a €10 voucher with which we could buy our lunch on the slopes and then we had dinner which included a soup as a starter, a main course and a dessert.
Each day we got five hours of skiing guided by instructors that taught us new skills and helped us improve while enjoying ourselves. I think it was an amazing experience that helped us create new friendships in between year groups and discover some new skills or passions for skiing or mountains.
