Secondary School Trips
Secondary school trips are a golden opportunity to inspire curiosity and stronger relationships among teenage groups beyond the four walls of their usual classroom.
These trips build interpersonal skills by encouraging young people to step outside of their comfort zone, meet interesting people, try new things and understand more about the world we live in. The connections made on secondary school trips – whether personal relationships or cultural understanding – often last for far longer than the time actually spent away.
