What a day it’s been for Sports and Uniformed Public Services students who enjoyed the morning at Oceanogràfic València, The Aquarium, where they spent time looking at a variety of animals and learnt about their diet, their extinction levels, their size and weight. In the afternoon they had a tour of the city where they experienced some local culture from a tour guide who gave then some excellent city knowledge and recommendations where to visit next 🤩

Our students are having an amazing time in Valencia where they enjoyed free time upon arrival, visited the gorgeous beach (making our staff in the office very jealous!), explored the city and had a look around the shopping centre ✈️🌞 Yesterday, they embarked on a surf and paddle lesson from an ex-professional surfer, whilst also learning about the dangers of the water and how to judge whether the water is safe for surfing conditions.
