Ski Trip to Italy
During the Easter break, students and staff travelled to Via Circonvallazione in Italy for an amazing ski trip. On Day one, students’ jaws dropped as they climbed up the mountain and took in the breath-taking scenic views. The instructors were incredibly impressed with the progress the group made, especially from a group of complete beginners in just one day! Everyone has also fully embraced the Italian culture, enjoying a delicious three-course meal together.
Day two brought blue skies, fresh tracks and that perfect crunch under the skis all day long. Students took in the views, chased a bit of speed and soaked up every second of sunshine (with a few well-earned breaks along the way). They also swapped ski boots for something a little more comfortable and headed to the local shopping centre for a wander, a bit of retail therapy and some well-deserved treats.
It was a little colder on day three but spirits are still very high. The slopes came alive at night and there’s something special about skiing under the lights. Our beginners were making amazing progress, confidence was growing with every run and we wonder if we might have a few future pro skiers in the making!
Blue skies and perfect conditions for day four made for an incredible day on the mountain. Beginners took on new heights, while the advanced groups conquered the peak. The views from the top were absolutely stunning. It has been amazing to see the progress our students had made as they were now skiing with confidence and skill.
On our final day, it was back up to the peak one last time to take in those unforgettable views. We kicked things off with some red runs for a warm-up and by the end of the morning, most students had confidently conquered the black runs before heading in for lunch.
It was an incredible week. The progress was been amazing to watch, with everyone pushing themselves and truly becoming skiers.

Bella’s training is progressing beautifully. She is incredibly "switched on," engaged, and eager to learn, which has made the process a joy. She uses barking as a clear communication tool to signal when she is anxious or requires further guidance with a command. Bella will be heading home at the weekend and will return to school on Monday.

🐾 Bella’s Residential Training Update – Week 1 🐾 We’re excited to share Bella’s first update from her residential training programme as she continues her journey to becoming Havant Academy’s #therapydog 🐶 💚 Bella has settled in exceptionally well and is thoroughly enjoying her training. The team have been really impressed with her focus and enthusiasm - she is highly engaged and eager to learn, which is a fantastic foundation to build on. During her first week, Bella has been introduced to all of her core obedience skills, including sit, down, recall, heel, “leave it”, “middle”, and “send to bed”. She has picked these up very quickly and is already showing great understanding. A key focus moving forward will be building reliability - helping Bella to respond consistently by increasing duration, adding distance, and introducing distractions in different environments. Bella has also been exposed to a variety of experiences, including time with children, cats, and other dogs. She has taken everything in her stride, showing a calm, gentle, and stable temperament—an excellent sign for her future role supporting student wellbeing. Her trainers have also been working on strengthening her response to her name, which is already supporting a strong recall. Impressively, Bella is able to come away from play to return when called—great progress for such a young puppy. She is also learning how to settle in a busy household environment, an important step before transitioning these skills into real-world settings such as schools and public spaces. Like all puppies, Bella is still learning how best to communicate. She can sometimes bark when she is unsure or needs something, but this is being positively guided, and she is responding well as training is adapted to support her understanding. Overall, Bella has made a fantastic start to her residential training. We are incredibly proud of her progress so far and are really looking forward to seeing how she continues to develop over the coming weeks. We can’t wait to welcome her back to Havant Academy soon! 💙 #HavantAcademy #Bella #StudentWellbeing 🐾 TKAT - The Kemnal Academies Trust TKAT ACE Havant Borough Council Postcode Publications Front Lawn Primary Academy Sharps Copse Primary School Onecom Alan Mak MP St Alban's CE Aided Primary School Trosnant Junior School Tesco Teaching Personnel Corrigenda Connect4Families
