S2 Activities Day Internal Workshops
S3 Internal Workshops Activities DayOVERVIEW
Activities day has been a highly successful venture for Bell Baxter High School over the last several years.
It demonstrates our commitment to building good working relationships with pupils and maintaining and
improving the ethos of the school.
The events described in this booklet are designed to help young people develop their ability to work with
others, to work independently, to offer them new challenges, to develop new skills, meet people in a
different context and, hopefully, have fun.
Selected Activity
Some of our activities are more expensive than others, the price charged reflects the cost of the activity
and we have made every effort to keep costs as low as possible.
Pupils will be allocated their choice based on the amount merits/demerits they have accumulated throughout
the term. Pupils who have more merits will be more likely to be granted their first choice. The
organisation of the programme is complex and it is important that your child attends the activity he/she is
given. If any pupil has not chosen an activity by the deadline, he/she will be allocated a free in-
school activity and be supervised. We cannot guarantee refunds for non-attendance.
NOTE:
1. Prices and venues may change for an activity from that shown due to: less number of pupils attending than
the maximum, the Activity Centre increasing its prices, availability, or bus company prices increasing. These
are beyond the schools control and pupils will be advised if there is an increase in price.
2. As with each Activities Day, there is a chance you will not get your first choice due to: activities being
oversubscribed, not running due to lack of numbers or other unexpected issues. As such, ensure you choose
activities you are willing to do if you do not get your first choice as you are expected to attend your
allocated activity if it is one of your choices.
Internal Workshop
The timetable will be suspended and classes will visit different faculty areas over the day. Staff will deliver
a lesson with a health and wellbeing focus. This will exemplify that health and wellbeing is part of every
subject and challenge the pupils thinking. A range of different experiences will be provided.
