“We were lucky to play host to commandos from the Royal Marines,” said a college spokesman.
The marines visited the college to give Year 10 students an insight into a career in the armed forces.
The spokesman said the students initially took part in a presentation giving background information about Navy life and the role of the armed forces.
Following on from this, students were split into groups and engaged in some team building exercises.

“Working together, against the clock, the students showed excellent team-work and perseverance under pressure as they successfully completed their leadership tasks,” said the spokesman.
“The punishment of press ups when errors were made was quite an incentive to achieve.”
