Welcome to Horizons Week 2021
Dear Students Parents and Guardians,
After two years of restrictions that have prevented experiential learning opportunities, we are delighted to share with you the details of this year's Horizons Week. We value learning, both within and beyond the classroom and our Horizons Week encapsulates everything that we believe in as a school. The week is built on strong partnerships between students, staff and external service providers; it is a week full of exciting learning opportunities; it encourages everyone to develop resilience and to greet challenge head-on. Students gain a wonderful sense of personal achievement from their endeavours during this week and new friendships and bonds are formed. The Horizons Week experience develops the whole person through creative, active and empathetic engagement with the world around us.
All students are asked to select 3 experiences; note that the three options selected must all be equally valid choices and students must be happy with participating in any of the 3 selected. Students will not be able to change their minds once the 3 choices have been submitted. Please note: Horizons Week registration is completed through WISDOM.
Included in this year's programme:
Please read carefully the 2021 Horizons Week Policy. If you are in receipt of any financial allowances from the school, you will be contacted separately.
I invite you now to look at the proposals for 2021.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Mrs Helena Murchie
Vice Principal
