CO-CURRICULAR ETHOS
At St Swithun’s we are proud of our academic excellence but also believe in the concept of being ‘appropriately academic’ which means encouraging the girls to work hard in class but
also then providing them with opportunities to do something else. The ‘something else’ is as important as academic lessons,
and sometimes more so. We expect the girls to try new things, to make mistakes and learn from them, to develop commitment,
perseverance, teamwork and organisational skills.
We accept that some girls will naturally want to take part in many activities and that others will need some gentle persuasion. We
would be failing in our duty to the latter if we did not emphasise the importance of balancing academic work with other activities. After all, the girls will never again have so many opportunities to
try such a wide range of activities.
Boarders are expected to sign up to a certain number of co-curricular activities that take place after school. (This number depends on which year group the girls are in but, generally
speaking, the younger girls are expected to do more activities when their workload is lighter). Day girls are also welcome to sign
up to these activities.
Pupils commit to an after-school activity for one term and the sign-up process happens at the beginning of each term. Form tutors help with this process to ensure that the girls have a
good balance of co-curricular activities and that they honour any priority sport, music or drama activities for which they
are required.

WEEKEND ACTIVITIES
ETHOS
At St Swithun’s we offer a full and varied programme of cultural, social and recreational activities at the weekends to suit all of our boarders, which we believe will broaden a boarder’s experience.
We believe that the weekend is a time when girls should have the opportunity to take some ‘downtime’, to try out new experiences, to learn how to organise their time appropriately and effectively, and to get to know girls of different ages and backgrounds. Our
aim is to provide an appropriate balance of constructive activities and relaxation within a home from home environment.
The weekend activity programme is open to all boarders, free of charge. Day girls will be charged for any activity they wish to sign up for at the weekend. We welcome feedback from the girls about the trips they go on and we are always interested in suggestions
for future trips.
STRUCTURE OF WEEKENDS
The organised weekend activities for the summer term 2017 are set out in this booklet. The overall structure for each weekend is
as follows:
On Friday evening girls have the option of taking part in activities or relaxing. On Saturdays there are matches and other school
activities, optional weekend activities (see booklet) and the opportunity to go shopping in Winchester. On Sundays there are matches and other school activities, optional weekend activities
and chapel in the evening.
I hope your daughter will make the most of the opportunities available to her and that she has a fulfilling and enjoyable time
while she is with us. If you have any queries regarding the weekend programme, please do not hesitate to contact
Mr Bruce Hansen – weekend activities co-ordinator hansenb@stswithuns.com
