School Trips
Intro
Since its inception, Down High School has offered its pupils opportunities to broaden their horizons and develop intellectually, socially, emotionally and spiritually outside of the classroom. A number of departments organise day trips to places of scientific, artistic, ecclesiastical, geographical or historical interest and these enable pupils to learn more effectively. The PE and Games staff arrange tours for hockey and rugby teams and pupils participating in the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme have enjoyed visits to local mountain ranges, the Lake District, the Pyrenees and the French Alps. Members of the school Army Cadet Force detachment experience exercise training in a range of different environments. A number of residential trips are organised either annually or every other year and some of these can be viewed by ing one of the options on the right-hand menu
