The recent cinema trip was a valuable opportunity for students to develop their independence and essential life skills. By navigating public spaces, managing personal belongings, and following schedules, students enhanced their confidence and ability to function in real-world settings. The experience also promoted social skills, as students engaged in conversations with peers and staff, practiced appropriate public behaviour, and adhered to group rules. Furthermore, the trip encouraged critical thinking and emotional expression as students discussed themes and messages from the film. Overall, this excursion supported personal development by fostering self-reliance, teamwork, and the ability to engage in enriching cultural experiences.
