| Members
of the Royal Marines visited Kidderminster College
last week in a bid to get students to improve
their lifestyles and take up physical activity,
whilst promoting the specialist careers the Royal
Marines can offer to final year students.
Sports Students at the college joined Marines,
Harry Baxter and Dane Binks from Lympstone in
Devon, to be put through their paces ‘Royal
Marines Style’ in a three hour physical
challenge at Forest Glades Leisure Centre.
Pippa Norton said: “The Marines session
was really hard work, but it's been a great experience
- despite the fact that females aren't allowed
in the Royal Marines!" Fellow student Roxanne
Burns added: "You've got to have good determination
and stamina to be a Marine, they worked us so
hard!"
Verity Perry, Sports Tutor at Kidderminster College
commented: “As part of our careers advice
support, we are always looking for interesting
ways to demonstrate different career choices to
students. What better way of demonstrating the
physical demands of being a Royal Marine than
actually taking part in a marines led physical
activity session – a session that certainly
wasn’t light-hearted!”
