Daily Routine

The daily routine is an important part of a course at Plas Gwynant, and we will show here how a typical secondary school course routine might look:

• 07.15    Wake up
• 07.50    Students do their jobs around centre
• 08.20    Breakfast and make packed lunch
• 09.00    Staff meeting to finalise the day's agenda
• 09.10    Staff meet students for either a whole day or two half days of activity
• 16.00    Return and sort out equipment
• 16.30    Drinks and cakes (and free time)
• 18.00    Evening meal
• 19.30    Evening activity
• 21.00    School shop
• 21.30    Supper
• 22.30    Bed-time
• 23.00    Lights out

The great thing about Plas Gwynant courses is that very little is set in stone, and we vary the above to suit the needs and objectives of a given group. Thus if an activity demands a slightly longer day, then there is scope to fit that in.

We try not to work to any particular programme, so that we can vary activities to take into account the abilities of each group. Thus what might be relevant for one group might be very inappropriate for another. In this way two groups from the same school will often go home having very different experiences from the same course, and we believe that this is one aspect of Plas Gwynant that makes it very special.
