Trips and Activities

We have an interactive programme which offers students the option come on weekend trips and join community events.

Participating in extracurricular activities can help students increase their academic success. It helps students to meet new people with the same interest and to improve their social skills.

We offer weekends away each term. In Term 1 we go the West Coast, in Term 2 to Oamaru and Dunedin, in Term 3 to Lake Tekapo and Wellington in Term 4.
