Ecofieldtrips -

The school has regularly used EcoFieldTrips for a number of years both for large groups and smaller, more specialist parties. I can summarise the reasons we use them as below:

Genuine experts with wide experience as well as knowledge of the full range of habitats found in SEA.
Great communication skills by these experts. they are both knowledgeable and have the ability to hold interest and to entertain.
Very efficient management. We can rely on the team to do what they say they will do. They do a lot of thinking for us and enable us to not worry about reliability or detailed practical issues.
A willingness to understand and act upon the requirements of our school courses. Active learning and thinking rather than sightseeing are what take place.
Great interpersonal skills with children and staff. All are made to feel comfortable and part of the experience whatever their level of knowledge.
A keeness to act upon constructive feedback.

" Kudos to Ecofieldtrips to another excellent trip. The activities were very engaging and the students certainly learnt a lot and more importantly got to experience Nature up-close. many students had commented that they would like to come back again."

"Thanks again Bridget for a great trip. I have already received SMS messages at home from kids telling me how much they enjoyed it all. Promit feels it was a life changing experience! I will definately pass on our compliments to James Dalziel to ensure that we continue to use you as our eco-fieldtrip provider in both the IB and OSSD curriculums."

"A very fruitful and excellent fieldtrip for the students. Truly experiential learning fot the students. Trainers were excellent, a lot of knowledge acquired from the trip."

"Sek Chuan and Karen have been excellent facilitators to ensure the smooth running of the programme. A big THANK YOU to them."

"Please give my very late appreciation and thanks to sek chuan and nurse jenny... they have been very very helpful and kind, and nice not only to the kids but to the teachers too. They took a proactive role in overall crowd control and took the initiative to carry out the activities.... their expertise in nature and overall safety for the kids and teachers have been most comforting & helpful.

Also many thanks to Bob... the Melanau kids simply love him and some of them shed tears at the departure in the airport... Bob must have made more than an impact in the educational side, he must have touched their hearts somehow.

I cannot help but say that I enjoyed the trip and had a peace of mind during it. With sek chuan, jenny and bob around, there was very little to worry about. Eunice, who went on a trip last year (led by another tour group), even commented that she felt more relaxed in this year's trip. We (the teachers from Melanau) didn't even feel pressured during the trip, nor were we rushed from place to place. It was a no-stress, enjoyable trip just because your ecofield trip staff was there to play an active role in handling the kids.

Thank you so much for all of your dedication and help to make this trip successful!"

"I was most impressed by the field trip your company organised for our Science students on Sept 10th of this year."

"Staff were very knowledgeable and knew how to interact with students. I have NO complaints. Karen and Sek Chuan were liked by my students and they learnt a lot from them."

" Dear Bridget, the boys thoroughly enjoyed the trip and they found it very educational too even though there is greater emphasis on the geography and marine life.

They were able to use the information gained and apply it to critical thinking especially with current GP topics on conservation, tourism etc.The boys are still talking about the trip and this is good especially when they recall the wonderful bonding that took place.There are many strengths in the trip. I too learned a lot in the short 3 days. I marvel at myself for snorkeling, something I have never envisaged myself doing. Thanks. This trip will be recommended to the HOD for next year's Overseas Learning Journeys.
