Emb@RC stands for exploration, motivation and boundlessness @ Renaissance College and this year it will take place between Nov 3rd-7th, 2025. Emb@RC Week is a crucial component of our student's educational experience, as it gives them an opportunity to engage in learning outside of the classroom, to take a break from academic studies, develop holistically and participate in activities to build collaboration, leadership and more. All students must participate in Emb@RC Week and the activities provide our students with a platform to develop their experiential learning and appreciate life outside of the four walls of school.
Students will be emailed a Google Form on Monday 24th March 2025 with sign ups closing at 1pm on Thursday 3rd April 2025.
Students will be able to choose from the Year 9 only trip to Vietnam, Year 8 and 9 Xi'an trip and Wolfies Football camp. If you do not want to attend any of these options please select the 'local Year 9 and 10 Hong Kong adventure camp' box and submit the form.
Each Year 8 student (Year 9 in November 2025) must select their preferences from the options and include a short citation explaining their interest in their chosen activities.
Students who wish to attend the local Year 9 and 10 overnight adventure camp, will be given more details about this (and other possible local options) in August/September 2025 and can indicate this preference on the google form.
Students will be notified of their assigned trip in April/May. Once a confirmation email has been received, you will be given instructions for paying a deposit for Vietnam, Xi’an or Wolfies. Failure to pay a deposit, means you may lose your spot.

You should choose activities that are personally challenging and give you a chance to do something you might not otherwise do. Don't pick activities simply because your friends are choosing them. This is your chance to get to know different people and find people with a similar interest to you!
Before submitting your Google Form, be sure to discuss all options with your parents/guardians. You will not be permitted to change activities after you have submitted your choices unless there is a valid reason/an emergency takes place.
While students are not guaranteed to receive their first option of activities, we will try our best to accommodate your needs and interests by working with the options you've selected. If none of these options can be arranged, we will reach out to you with further information.
