Students of all ages should enjoy and benefit from outings,  visits and field
trips - the many and varied ways in which their education can be enhanced
by  seeing  something  new,  by  going somewhere  different. Students are
encouraged  to  widen  their  horizons through  a  variety  of  activities and
outings and these are different in purpose and in length.

Older  students  seek  information  for  their history, geography or science
project,  or  perhaps  travel on a sporting or cultural visit or exchange. For
the  younger  students,  visits  to  local  institutions  and  places of interest
will  provide  similar opportunities on a smaller scale. Whatever the age of
the  student  or  the  scope  of  the project, the opportunity to look beyond
the immediate will enhance the student's perception.

Educational tours typically take place at least once in an academic year. Detailed preparations are made for them and the choice of venue is made keeping in mind the learning objectives of the topic of study. Students are prepared for the tour with a lecture and a film highlighting important features of the venue. During the visit, students document details of their own impressions in a journal and at the end of the tour, they are assessed on the basis of their presentations of all that they have learnt. Thus every educational tour comes across as a thorough and in-depth learning experience for students.
