Outdoor Education

We are extremely proud to offer our students skiing at some of the top resorts the country has to offer. The instructors at our camps are trained to work with children of all abilities and they will be able to take them to, and sometimes past, their comfort levels in a controlled and sensitive manner.

Students have the opportunity to learn or develop their skiing/snowboarding skills, they also have an opportunity to further develop their relationships with their grade level peers in a unique camp environment.

Our DP History Grade 12 students are exploring the rise of authoritarianism and its impact in Germany, with a specific focus on the city of Munich. Students toured the concentration camp memorial at Dachau, reflecting on the dark impact of unrestrained ethno-centric authoritarianism. Students also completed a walking tour of Central Munich, including a visit to the NS-Dockumentationsmuseum, to reflect on the factors enabling the rise of the Nazi Party and its subsequent authoritarian regime in Germany and wider Europe. We've enjoyed peeling back the layers of this complicated story and better understanding the role of Munich and its place in this difficult history.

The focus of this trip is on providing an opportunity for students to immerse themselves in the Spanish language and culture which will allow them further develop their language skills and cultural understanding.

Students will spend every morning in the Malaca Instituto where they will be put into groups depending on their language level and will take part in Spanish lessons. In the afternoon they will participate in cultural activities and visits. As part of this trip, students will stay in pairs with local host families, who have been approved by the Malaca Instituto. 

During the Creativity, Action and Service  Camp students will be involved in a number of service activities, some of which will be physically challenging (e.g. construction work on building sites, tree planting and maybe also helping to teach English to local students.) In addition to this, students will take part in a hike on Mount Meru. Culturally, students will visit a local cultural centre to view an exhibition of local dancing, visit a coffee plantation as well as go on an overnight safari in Tarangire National Park and Ngrongoro National Park. While on safari and on the hike, students will sleep in tents or in basic mountain huts.

Our students took part in the Association for Music in International School (AMIS) High School Honour Choirs Festival 2023 in Muscat, Oman.

Throughout the festival, students worked with guest conductors and vocal teachers, and rehearsed with students from schools all around the globe. The festival was a wonderful opportunity for students to meet and sing alongside like-minded international school musicians from around the world and receive coaching from experienced choral directors.
