“Monday Activities”

The Monday Activities programme provides each pupil with up to three courses over a four year period with self-reliance, leadership training and basic outward bound activities at the heart of the programme.

The programme runs each Monday afternoon: 4.15 - 6.00 pm (summer timetable); 2.15 - 4.00 pm (winter timetable) and involves all pupils except Second Year Specialists.

One weekend in the Oration Quarter (Autumn) and one weekend in the Long Quarter (Spring) is designated as an Activities Weekend, starting on a Saturday afternoon and finishing on a Monday evening. This allows up to two days for those Activities requiring time for outward bound expeditions.
