Activities Week at Oldmachar Academy is a dynamic and enriching highlight of our school calendar, offering learners the chance to be inspired and challenged beyond the classroom. Through a wide range of experiences: from outdoor adventures and creative workshops to cultural visits, day trips, and international travel, students grow as Innovative Thinkers, Collaborative Communicators, Ambitious Learners, Considerate Citizens, and Adaptable Individuals.

Each year, pupils have opportunities to explore new places, develop independence, and create lasting memories. Recent trips have included visits to Spain, Athens, and Paris, where learners gained valuable cultural experiences and key life skills. The programme changes annually and is open to all year groups. We encourage S1 pupils to begin with our in-school activities, S2-S3 pupils to try day excursions and national residentials, and then progress to international opportunities as they choose.

Information about residential options is shared early in the school year to help families plan and spread costs. We are committed to ensuring Activities Week is accessible to all, and financial support is available for families on lower incomes so every learner can take part in these valuable and enjoyable experiences.
