Activities / Excursions
There is a 7 day weekly programme with evening entertainment, weekend activities and excursions organised and led by college staff. There are regular weekly organised excursions usually on Saturday afternoon and one all day weekend excursion on Sunday. Organised sports and activities take place in the afternoon, both on and off site. Evening activities are offered daily and special evening events are organised at weekends. We aim to allow students a chance to relax, use their time constructively by offering them a wide range of activities to explore as such they have very little 'free time'.
