Our Inter-disciplinary Outdoor Learning Programme aims to provide an authentic

educational experience which will:

(1) expose students to an appreciation of the different aspects which can be

learnt from various venues.

(2) provide pupils with an opportunity to relate their learning to the following
subjects: Geog/History, F&N, D&T, English and Mother Tongue.

(3) provide pupils with the opportunity to gather data/sources to complete their
Inter-disciplinary Outdoor Project Tasks.

The pupils’ Project Work form an integral part of the assessment component. It is
our hope that working in teams will also enable our pupils to develop their 21st
Century Skills and help them grow into self-directed learners and confident
communicators.

The pedagogy used for each trip focused on Problem-Based Learning. Regent

is meaningful for our pupils:
