PHS School Thinking...
HOW ARE EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING JOURNEYS ORGANISED AT PHS? 📑🚌
To ensure that every field trip and experiential activity is transformed into a profound “life lesson”, PHS operates a rigorous framework, upholding the highest standards of safety and educational integrity:
1️⃣ Research & Itinerary Planning: Teachers conduct extensive research and on-site evaluations to develop a curriculum that “connects academic knowledge with real-world application.” Every aspect of the itinerary is meticulously calculated to balance student wellbeing with educational efficacy, ensuring the most suitable transport is selected. Logistics and hygiene standards are equally prioritised during this research phase to guarantee a seamless experience.
2️⃣ Parental Partnership & Transparency: Comprehensive details regarding schedules, locations, and pedagogical objectives are shared transparently to provide parents with absolute peace of mind. On certain occasions, parents are cordially invited to participate alongside their child’s class.
3️⃣ Academic Assignment & Role Allocation: PHS students are briefed on the specific learning objectives and the expected outcomes of the journey. Senior students engage in collaborative discussions to delegate responsibilities within their groups, while younger pupils are assigned structured tasks by their teachers to ensure active engagement.
4️⃣ Checklists & Personal Autonomy: For every expedition, each student is required to manage a checklist to prepare their own personal belongings and academic materials. We instil a sense of accountability from the outset. A vital component of this process is developing contingency awareness, where students learn the principles of risk mitigation.
5️⃣ Immersive Experience: For city-based students, every destination serves as a vibrant new classroom. Even time spent in transit—whether by coach or train—is utilised for disciplined relaxation, social bonding, and fostering a cultured manner of travel.
6️⃣ Field Observation & Data Acquisition: On-site, students execute their primary research tasks, such as interviewing artisans, documenting observations, and capturing audiovisual evidence to support their post-trip syntheses.
7️⃣ Knowledge Synthesis & Transformation: Following the journey, these first-hand insights are synthesised into individual academic posters, formal reports, or creative video presentations. These outcomes are presented before the class and during the whole-school assembly to share collective knowledge.
The PHS Value: At PHS, our educators do more than simply organise a trip; we cultivate a sophisticated environment where every moment serves as an opportunity for students to refine their skills, embody core values, and achieve personal maturity.
