During Term 2 in 2019, Horizon Private School – Branch Grade 1 and 2 students enjoyed three different trips to the Emirates Park Zoo, Bahiya Public Library, and Fun Works.

At Emirates Park Zoo, Grade 1 students learned about animal classification and habitats and enjoyed their time feeding the animals. Meanwhile, Grade 2 students undertook a visit to Bahiya Public Library, where an Arabic language puppet show was performed.

"A trip to remember" is how both students and teachers have described the Desert Safari field trip and adventure they experienced during the first term of the academic year 2018/19. On a Monday morning, Grade 7 students rode the bus all the way to Al Ain, fully ready and excited for what they were about to experience and learn.

Desert Safari is the perfect place for a student to enjoy the company of friends and learn more about the UAE’s desert culture and traditions. HPS-Br. students were excited by the wide range of entertainment and activities, which allowed them to have closer contact and understanding of the Emirati heritage. They raced on surfing boards and sand gliders, climbed on top of dunes, witnessed the ancient beauty and glory of the desert camels, and hopped on 4×4 vehicles, driven by professional expertise, for an exhilarating and thrilling dune bashing experience that lasted for a whole hour.

When they returned to the camp, they picked their choices of delicious dishes from the buffet. Finally, our hosts wrapped up the day with an entertaining magic show that brought our students’ efforts together in trying to solve the mysteries behind the tricks. Students rode back to school with smiles on their faces and with the aspiration of doing it again in the near future.

International Trips

Everything from experiencing a new culture to trying new foods.

The program created for the Singapore and Indonesia trip was packed with fun-learning experiences for all of the students and teachers. The first leg was initiated with interactive sessions on leadership, teamwork, and the social impact of leadership.

The subsequent days saw students free themselves of their inhibitions; they worked in teams in the tower-building activity and in the escape room. The evenings were filled with fun times at the Gardens by the Bay and the Spectra light show.

The students then headed to Indonesia and Bintan Island, where they learned about creative Safe Water Gardening practices and enjoyed kayaking in pairs. They conquered their fears by sky-walking on coconut trees and jumping on the flying fox. A healthy mix of culture and diversity was demonstrated when the students competed in the raft building and racing activities along with students from a local orphanage.

The program culminated in the presentation of the UN MDG-inspired projects that the students had worked on.
