Expeditions
Normally, a dozen or more expeditions and major trips take place on an annual basis, e.g:
- Canadian canoeing wilderness expedition's to the NWT of Canada or Norway/Sweden
- 'World Challenge' trips to India and Tanzania; major sports tours to South Africa or Italy
- history trip to Russia
- geography trip to the USA
At a slightly smaller scale are:
- Moroccan walking trips in the Atlas mountains
- Language trip to Nice
- skiing holiday in Italy
- German exchange
- Berlin cultural visit
- York trip
- Outward Bound leadership and teamwork course
- transitus camp
Throughout these ventures the opportunities to maximize the personal development of individuals is given significant emphasis and a substantial majority of senior pupils take part in these experiences on an annual basis. Encouragement is given to self fund where it is appropriate to do so.
