Pocklington School - Shark Diving Experience 1

Pupils gained an insight into the joys and challenges of growing up in South Africa during a hugely successful sports tour of the country during the summer. The 71 Fourth Year to Lower Sixth pupils saw at first hand the poverty which besets many people in rural areas and townships. They enjoyed playing local children at rugby and hockey, and marvelled at the many and varied sights South Africa has to offer. The trip was also marked by some memorable wildlife encounters, not least during the Shark Cage diving trip which allowed close encounters with chillingly huge and dead-eyed great white sharks, as well as stingrays.
