school trips in Japan


school trips in Japan?
If the equivalent of 7th graders go on camping trips and 8th graders go on beach trips, do 10th graders (koukou first year, i think) go on any end of year trips AND/OR field trips?

Yes, they do. But it's not like 7th graders go to camping trips or 8th graders on beach. It depends on each school where to go, not depends on grade.

Annual official field trip is very popular in Japanese schools. Junior High 1st grade to 3rd grade there may go camping at beach or forest, social study tour for different cities(Kyoto or Nara or Tokyo etc.)/country(Korea or China etc.) and TDL maybe. It depends. It is not scheduled at the end of school year but usually in half-way of them.Some of them are day trip but mostly are two to three or more days group trip generally.

Yeah, they do go on school trips in the 10th grade. It depends on the school as to where they go; one school I visited, they went on a 2-day camping trip near the beginning of the school year (as sort of a bonding exercise). At a different school, they went on a day trip to a nearby water park in the summer.
