Tours & Excursions

A graded programme of day excursions and residential tours, each with a written itinerary, a staff ratio and parental consent on file.

Excursions are graded by age, from a half-day outing for the pre-primary children to a residential tour for the senior grades. Each one is planned as a learning activity with a stated purpose, and children come back to a follow-up task in class rather than only a photograph.

How safety is handled

  • Written itinerary and consent form issued to parents in advance
  • Staff-to-child ratio fixed by age, with female staff on every trip
  • Vehicle fitness, permit and driver records verified before departure
  • First-aid kit and a trained staff member on every bus
  • Head count at every boarding point, logged
  • A school contact number available to parents through the day

No child is left behind for cost. Where a family cannot meet the charge for a trip, the school quietly covers it.

Come and see the school on an ordinary day — call the office and we will keep someone free to walk you around.
