The College offers a wide range
of cultural, sporting, physical, creative, service and recreational
activities, which take place on weekday afternoons, evenings and at
weekends. These form an important part of the overall educational
experience, and students are encouraged to take part, choosing from
over 60 regular activities. |
There is also an internal social
programme of events as well as trips to places of historical and cultural
interest e.g. theatres and museums in Oxford, London and elsewhere
for which there may be a small charge. The Activities Department also
organises weekend or longer trips e.g. last year to Peru,
Barcelona, Prague, Europe, Italy,
Krakow, Dublin, Northern Ireland and Paris.
We also run outdoor activity trips e.g. to France,
Italy and Austria. There is a programme of outdoor education weekend
trips such as horse
riding, caving, rockclimbing and
hillwalking. |

As an international college, we
engage in a wide range of activities which we hope will foster increasing
international understanding among our students. These include a series
of International Study visits and an 'International Affairs' lecture
and discussion programme.
