Stage 4 – Taster Days and Overnight Stays Once you have visited, you may wish to arrange a taster day or overnight stay for your son or daughter so that they can meet their peers and get a feel for what life is really like at Fettes. A buddy will be assigned and your son/daughter will attend lessons, sports and activities alongside them. They will be placed with a pupil the same age as them at the time of visiting.
