Information For New Students

Week Without Walls represents a unique opportunity for students to learn and grow through experiences away from the classroom. During the week there are no scheduled lessons and all students will be involved in activities either in Hong Kong or abroad. Students are encouraged to make connections, and build relationships, whilst also being pushed outside of their comfort zones. This process is designed to help students develop holistically, through building skills, attitudes and behaviours. It is hoped that this demonstrates there is no limit to what students can learn and achieve, expanding their view of themselves and the world around them.

Students in Years 7, 8 and 9 will attend their year-group trips or planned events. 

Students in Years 10–13 will have a choice of activities.

Week Without Walls is a significant part of the DBIS experience, and attendance at one of the activities is required.

All trips should have the capacity to help students develop at least two of the Learner Profile Attributes.
