School Trips
Trips, expeditions and visits enable us to fulfil our vision for a student leaving JCG.
They will have a thirst for knowledge and already possess a broad understanding of the cultural, historical, geographical and scientific events and ideas which have fashioned their island and their world, and an eagerness to discover more … They will have happy and lasting memories of their time at College and an admiration for those people who have nurtured and shaped their learning.
Educational visits, expeditions and residential trips are an important aspect of the curriculum and exposure to a variety of experiences outside the classroom and off island should be part of a student’s school experience.
They can raise achievement by boosting self-esteem and motivation and developing key life and work skills and help to develop better relationships.
The curriculum content of many subjects is enhanced by trips and visits and in some subjects it is highly desirable; for example, Drama students must have seen a number of plays and Geography students are required to do field work. Curriculum related visits must be accessible to all students completing the course and, therefore, will not cost in excess of the amount that can be granted to students on bursaries each year. At all times, priority consideration should be given to meeting the educational needs of the students in the most cost-effective manner.
