Extra-Curricular

Extra-curricular activities and school trips are a fundamental part of what we do as a school.  There are so many benefits to getting involved.

• make friends
• learn new skills and improve your existing skills
• build your knowledge about something new
• start an activity that might become your future career
• have fun!
