Year 9: Service and Experiential Learning
The Horizons Week options for Year 9 are based around Service abroad. This is at the heart of our mission and guiding statements. Service activities are a vital part of the learning programme at WIS. Within the options are a wide variety of activities and projects that reflect a range of global development challenges and associated environmental issues. We have sought out suitable partners and looked for ways whereby WIS students may offer solutions. The projects that WIS will be involved in reflect concern for people and human economic development in a way which is sensitive to culture, the environment and sustainability.
WIS believes in the wonderful and humbling experience of serving others and in the responsibility we have to one another and the planet. The Service programme fosters empathy and helps students to recognise that part of being human is seeking opportunities to put yourself aside in the service of others.
Whereas we encourage all Year 9 to go on a service trip abroad, we do have some local opportunities available for students who feel this is not suitable for them. Please choose something from the options provided.
