Educational trips & Culture Activities
Educational trips, cultural tours and guest speakers are a vital component of education in today’s world. For learning to be relevant it must be linked directly to the “real world” and “real life” and enhance knowledge of the world around us. Studies have shown that experiencing learning, through seeing a process occur in a factory or hearing first-hand a description of an event, greatly enhance understanding of and retention of learning.
Additionally, trips out of school partaking in fun activities provides an ideal medium for group bonding to aid the induction of students new to the school and enhance relationships within established school groups. In planning for trips and tours every effort is made to keep the cost to a minimum for parents.
Library/Reading Room
As an alternative to other more active pursuits, we have provided access to the library in the English room at lunch time each day where books can be exchanged, facilitated by transition year students, to provide students with a quiet space in which to enjoy the pleasure of reading.
