Charities
RTS actively supports charitable concerns as part of our commitment to 'Community'. A wide range of fundraising events and activities take place at various points throughout the school year.
We encourage students to fully participate in charitable endeavours as an integral part of belonging to a community.
Friends of RTS (FoRTS)
We pride ourselves on the excellent communication and co-operation between the school and the parents. This finds particular expression in FoRTS which contributes greatly to the school with its programme of education, social and fundraising activities. All parents are automatically members of FoRTS. The school calendar contains details of the programmes, meetings and events for the year ahead.
School Trips
The school organises a large number of visits of all sorts; some mainly educational, such as the Geography and Languages trips; and some mainly sporting. The enrichment that these activities lend to a school's life is considerable and every student who particpates, benefits in a very discernible way.
Outside of the school context, students have to accept responsibilities, establish relationships, and learn to work as part of a closely-knit group - these are vital elements in the process of education and maturity.
We encourage as many students as possible to participate, and any parent who is at all unsure of any aspect - either the school's policy of the practical details - is welcome to contact the school at any time to discuss them.
