On-Campus Activities

Alongside lessons and excursions, students take part in a structured programme of on-campus activities every evening, with some daytime activities also included.

Activities are planned and delivered on site by our Activity Managers and adapted to campus facilities and students’ interests.

Below are some examples of activities commonly included across PLUS centres.

Social & Evening Activities

Welcome Night / Icebreakers

Games and fun group activities to help students settle in and get to know each other.

Team Challenge Night

A series of short, team-based games and problem-solving activities that encourage healthy competition. There are also Quiz Nights, Treasure Hunts around campus, and other competitions for students who love to challenge their friends.

Photo Challenge

Team photo tasks set around the campus, encouraging creativity and collaboration.

Trashion Show

Always a favourite with students, teams design and make outfits using recycled or everyday materials, ending with a catwalk-style presentation of their creations.

Murder Mystery

A fun role-play activity where students work in teams to solve the clues to identify the murderer, motive, and method.

Disco

For many, the highlight of the week is an opportunity to let their hair down and dance the night away.

Talent Show

Another highlight, students are given the chance to get up on stage, whether it's to sing, dance, or show off a special skill. For students who love to perform, there are also Karaoke Nights and Dance-Off competitions.

International Show

Students share aspects of their culture through short performances, music, or mini presentations.

Sports & Active Sessions

Team Sports

Sports sessions are structured and supervised by PLUS Activity Leaders. Activities typically include football, basketball, volleyball, and badminton, with teams organised to be fair and inclusive. Sessions often involve short games, rotations, and mini-tournaments, rather than informal free play.

Swimming

Supervised swimming sessions are run as organised group activities, with clear rules, staff oversight, and appropriate group management. Available at some campuses only.

PLUS Olympics

A school sports day–style event featuring a mix of races, team games, and challenges. Students compete in mixed teams across a variety of activities, with an emphasis on participation, teamwork, and enjoyment.
