Sixth Form Activities

 

Bournemouth Collegiate School offers a wide-ranging programme of extra-curricular activities which are open to the Sixth Form. These activities run in addition to the Sixth Form’s own enrichment programme. Art, drama, music, dance, ICT and sport are all popular options, but there are many other options to tempt every taste. Outings are arranged to the local dry ski slope, theatres, cinema, museums and theme parks – both locally and further afield. Students will be able to join in with a very wide range of activities at lunch times and after school including:

All Year 12 and 13 students are invited to participate in a team-building residential course at Brenscombe Outdoor Education Centre in the Isle of Purbeck, on 7th and 8th October.  The objective for these two days is to be faced with leadership and problem-solving exercises, demonstrating initiative and effective teamwork skills. This will be a superb opportunity for Year 12 and 13 to really get to know each other in an environment away from the school and it is hoped that this experience will help embed leadership and teamwork skills with experience in really taking the initiative.
