WEEK ELEVEN
FURNESS ACADEMY
Porthkerris in Cornwall
"Thank you once again for the amazing opportunity and tremendously professional and caring environment you all provided for us during our stay, it was very gratefully received and will not be forgotten any time soon!
The experiences gained by our students have been invaluable. The improvements in ‘soft skill’ development while supporting each other through unfamiliar, and at times stressful and challenging situations have been immense, and I am certain that these skills will provide a firm foundation of belief, trust and resilience as they move into their final years at school.
We try to press upon them the importance of learning through failure, and this message is repeated to them throughout their journey with us however, this is often a difficult and intangible philosophy to approach, in particular with 13 & 14 year olds. Dive Project Cornwall has managed this in a week, by educating our students in the process of success, spending multiple hours often 1:1 to ensure all have the greatest opportunity to grow and to learn.
The team always leads by example in a humorous and professional manner and the positive change in the students during the week was a joy to see.
You all committed yourselves wholeheartedly to the professional development of our students throughout their PADI courses and beyond. You have also repeatedly afforded them something which is becoming a luxury in education – your time. We can’t thank you enough!"
