Education minister says Injebreck site isn't just for younger pupils
It's hoped a new outdoor learning facility will be a wellbeing boost for older students at the Island's schools.
From the next academic year all year five students will have the chance to take part in a Wilderness Education Programme at the new centre at Injebreck.
The former Ardwhallan site reopened this week after undergoing a transformation.
Education Minister Daphne Caine says it won't just be used by younger pupils:
Firearms amnesty comes into effect
People can surrender weapons without fear of prosecution
Chickenpox jab to become part of routine childhood vaccinations
GP practices to offer children a combined MMRV vaccine
Hark! Claims school didn't allow Christmas carols to be sung "rumour" and "hearsay", says minister
