donex - Outdoor Education

The outdoors is more than a backdrop, it’s a place where students discover who they are, what they’re capable of, and how they contribute to something larger than themselves. Our Outdoor Education Programme is a cornerstone of the school experience, offering students the chance to explore, reflect, grow, and connect through meaningful time in nature. By equipping our program with lightweight, reliable gear, we ensure that every student, regardless of background, can fully participate in the transformative outdoor experiences that set the Ecole apart.
