'...experiential learning can be the most durable, memorable and life-altering learning undertaken by learners in any educational system.'
(Empowering Learning- The importance of being experiential by Malcom Pritchard)
Welcome!
Vision
During Week Without Walls we Educate to Make a Difference by fostering cultural exchange and learning through a range of meaningful, practical and authentic experiences.
Rationale
Taking learning beyond the classroom expands learners’ understanding of the curriculum and its possible applications as well as contributing to their individual development. These trips create learning experiences that encourage each student to realise their potential. MS Week Without Walls is one of the building blocks that assist in creating success in a child’s academic life and beyond. It continues to offer the opportunity to develop an individual’s physical, social and emotional wellbeing, a healthy and positive disposition, connectedness with others, and self-awareness. Every Activity Week trip will provide the opportunity for personal development, to learn and contribute to local and other communities, and for adventure.
Connecting WWW to the world through the SDGs
A key element in the ISS Week Without Walls is the connection to the Sustainable Development goals.
