LUNCH AND ACTIVITIES. Lunch break is nice and long here at the High School, allowing students to have a break for food and to get involved in clubs and activities if they choose. Some students like a full sit-down meal in the Dining Hall while others prefer to Grab-and-Go or get take out food from the Brasserie; this allows more time to participate in activities or relax in our outdoor Sixth Form area. Once refuelled, students can get involved in one of our wide array of co-curricular opportunities taking place here every day. They can also hop on a tram and travel the 2 minutes into the city centre if they prefer. |
