OUTDOOR EDUCATION

Recognising that learning is often best facilitated in "hands- on" experience away from the more formal atmosphere of the classroom, outdoor education experiences are both encouraged and considered to be an integral part of the curriculum of St Martin's.

Such experiences, be they camps of shorter or longer duration, or excursions into the playground, local area or further afield, provide numerous opportunities to integrate the physical, social, academic, emotional and artistic components of a balanced education.

Outdoor Education experiences by their vary nature are highly motivational, enjoyable and challenging while necessitating careful planning with particular attention to safety. Children in the Middle and Senior years participate in a camp each year.
