School groups have been visiting Share Discovery Village for their annual ‘School Trip’ for over 40 years. We want to share what we feel the benefits are for pupils’ going on school trips. For more information email us at: info@sharevillage.org
1. Our Activities can increase independence and confidence
A residential visit may be a pupils first real taste of independence. Experiencing this independence in a safe and positive environment will boost a pupil’s self-confidence. Residentials are essential for personal and social development, allowing new friendships to bloom and new challenges to be faced. Our accommodation is mostly rooms of 4 with an ensuite.
2. Pupils can learn new skills at Share Discovery Village
Some lessons in life cannot be taught in class. Trips are an opportunity for your pupils to conquer challenges outside the classroom setting where a different set of skills is required. For example, pupils may be asked to build a shelter in the forest.
3. Our Activities can increase the bond between students and teachers
Out of the classroom setting new friendships will develop among the pupils. Teachers will get to know students more throughout the trip, this is a great way to build strong rapport with them. You will reap the benefits of this for the rest of the teaching year. Teachers often go out on sessions with the students at Share Discovery Village.
4. Share Discovery Village can help take pupils out of their comfort zones
Experiences that take pupils out of their comfort zone are essential for personal growth and developing an appetite for trying new things. At Share Discovery Village an example of a new experience may be paddling a canoe with friends to an island or shooting an arrow in archery.
5. It’s lots of fun!
Plain and simple! A school trip can be lots of fun for everyone. Share Discovery Village and school trip venues will offer schools packages that suit the schools and pupils needs, creating a memorable and enjoyable experience.
