Trips and Family Golden Time

Trips and visits help to ignite the children's interest in a new topic or theme. 

Family Golden Time and Stay and Play sessions , provide parents/family members to spend quality time with their child, during the school day. Sessions are based around a theme that the children have been learning about and are fully interactive.

  • On an educational visit, students are more likely to retain information. Being immersed in information and being involved in visual and practical experiences will help children remember, learn and understand subjects.
  • Educational visits will help reinforce classroom materials, bringing lessons to life. School trips give students the opportunity to visualise, experience and discuss information on a subject.
  • Going on educational visits offers students a unique cultural learning experience. It allows students to be involved in new environments, key to encouraging curiosity about a given subject. It is also valuable as an exercise in broadening a student’s understanding of the world and their place in it.
  • Educational trips encourage the development of social, personal and study skills. It has been observed that students appear to come out of their shell on educational visits, becoming creative and displaying leadership qualities.
