Secondary Extra-Curricular

Enrichment Excursions & Camps

Heritage College places a high emphasis on actively engaging students in education which is relevant and useful in everyday living. Throughout the year various subject teachers will require their students to be involved in day excursions relevant to the topic being studied. These field trips are usually conducted during normal school hours. Parents will be notified via a permission slip and newsletter at the relevant times.

In addition to these excursions, class camps which form a part of the College curriculum, are conducted at various year levels. The purpose of these camps is to extend student’s learning, develop resilience and provide life experiences beyond the boundaries of regular school activities. As these excursions and camps are part of the formal College program students are expected to attend, as regular classes for the affected year levels will not be held during these days.

The cost of a camps are billed separately and is not part of the regular school fees. Parents will be given adequate notice of the nature and destination of all relevant excursions and camps. All costs must be paid prior to the excursion or camp.
