Leisure Programme

: Art Cafe

The leisure programme represents the largest part of the course and it is our intention that all students take part in as many different activities as possible. All included excursions are compulsory unless illness or injury prevents this.

We also have a programme of extra activities and excursions, which are offered to the students. It is important that these extras are booked well in advance.
