During half-term, 45 Rose Hill School pupils and staff travelled to Eindhoven in Holland for a football and hockey sports tour. The boys were lucky enough to train with Dutch Giants PSV Eindhoven, while the girls trained with Dutch National Hockey Champions Oranje-Rood.
An added bonus to the tour was that the group was accompanied by Roy of the Rovers author Tom Palmer, who is researching his new book.
The trip was organised by Head of Sports Simon Hinchliffe, and is the second time that Rose Hill have taken pupils on such a trip.
“The pupils had an amazing trip and have been put through their paces by brilliant coaches,” he said. “The tour is not about ‘winning’ but the opportunity to develop different sporting and social skills. The PSV team motto ‘together we are strong’ was the perfect takeaway for our pupils and is exactly the same message we promote in the sports department. Well done to everyone.”
