Introduction

Guidance and instruction are given in a programme of activities from 2.10-4.00 pm on Wednesday afternoon each week. These are for all except the First Year for whom a programme is organised on these afternoons introducing them to our wide range of sports, as well as activities such as Drama. On Field Day, when the other Years are doing their Activities for the whole day, First Year boys take part in an "outdoor pursuits" day.

Second Year

Boys may choose to join the R.N., Army or R.A.F. sections of the C.C.F., or an outward bound activity known as the "Terriers". If they are Art or Music Award holders they may instead concentrate on Art or Music.

Third, Fourth And Fifth Years

Boys have a wide ranging choice of activities including:

Combined Cadet Force: R.N., Army or R.A.F. Sections;

Community Service (helping the old, the infirm and the handicapped members of the local community, or working in local Primary Schools or Hospitals);

Advanced Chemistry; Aero-Modelling; Art, Ceramics and Photography; Assistance to the Librarian; Assistance with some of the First Year activities; Bridge; Chess; Computing projects; Conservation; Design Technology Projects; Film Making; Music, primarily for music specialists; Phytology; Play Writing; Preparation of the School Magazine; Rackets; Radio; Recording Studio; Stage sets, props and lighting; Tonbridge's Literary Supplement; Work within a boy's house

Almost all of the activities listed above can be used for a component of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme, should a boy choose to enrol.
