School Tours

For over 40 years now, CBC has fostered and encouraged students to participate in mid term educational tour programmes.

Participation is important in peer group bonding, integration and personal development. Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.

What School Tours Achieve

School tours are more than just educational outings; they are a vital component of the CBC Cork experience, embodying our commitment to comprehensive education and the holistic development of our students.

Through these enriching experiences, we continue to inspire and empower our students to reach their fullest potential, both inside and outside the classroom.

Expanding Horizons Beyond the Classroom:

The primary objective of school tours at CBC Cork is to extend learning beyond traditional classroom settings. These tours provide students with practical, real-world experiences that complement theoretical knowledge.

Social and Emotional Development:

Beyond academic enrichment, school tours at CBC Cork are vital for students' social and emotional growth. These trips provide an opportunity for students to interact in new and diverse settings, fostering teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills.
The shared experiences of navigating new environments and challenges together help to build stronger bonds among classmates, promoting a sense of community and belonging.Moreover, stepping outside the familiar school environment and encountering new people and places can significantly boost students' confidence and independence.
These experiences encourage students to step out of their comfort zones, enhancing their adaptability and resilience—skills that are crucial for personal development and future success.

Cultivating Cultural Awareness and Global Citizenship:

In an increasingly globalized world, understanding and appreciating cultural diversity is more important than ever.
School tours expose students to different cultures, traditions, and ways of life, broadening their perspectives and fostering a sense of empathy and respect for others.
Whether it’s a local visit within Ireland or an international trip, these experiences are instrumental in shaping students into well-rounded global citizens who are aware of and sensitive to the complexities of the world around them.

Creating Lasting Memories:

One of the most cherished aspects of school tours is the memories they create. These experiences leave a lasting impression on students, providing stories and lessons that they carry with them throughout their lives.

The excitement and adventure of exploring new places together forge unforgettable memories that enrich the overall school experience.
