A group of students have completed a confidence-building sailing voyage on the open sea.
The five-day expedition on the Rona II yacht saw Year 10 students from Lift New Forest travel along the south coast as part of the Rona Sailing Project.
Funded by the Olivia Inspires charity, the trip aimed to develop teamwork and life skills through hands-on experience at sea.
Students took part in sailing duties, navigation support, cooking, cleaning, and night watches.
One student said: "It's moments like this when everyone is eating together that I feel so grateful that I've been able to experience this. It's nice to see everyone's enjoying it."
Charlotte Warren, director of sport and PE at Lift New Forest, said: "We are hugely grateful to Olivia Inspires for funding this trip, which opened up a truly transformative experience for our pupils.
"The Rona Sailing Project team were outstanding throughout, and I couldn't be prouder of our students for how they embraced every challenge."
