The Novae School Experience

Where Textbook Knowledge Becomes Real Experience

Students spend years learning about constellations, the solar system and the ecosystem — often without ever observing any of it in real life. Novae Glamp changes that. In one overnight trip, students look through a real telescope, launch water rockets, walk a working farm and sleep under a sky full of stars they've only read about until now.

Every session is led by qualified guides and is aligned to curiosity-based learning. Safety is planned first, learning is embedded throughout, and every student returns with something they genuinely didn't know before.

🔭 Stargazing & Astronomy

Our astronomy guide leads a structured session — constellation identification, understanding the solar system scale, and telescope viewing. Every student gets time at the eyepiece. Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons are the moments nobody forgets.

🌾 Farm Exploration

A guided walk through a working farm — students learn about soil types, seasonal crops, water systems and the food supply chain. Hands-on, visual, and directly relevant to science and geography curricula.

🚀 Water Rockets (STEM)

Teams design and launch water-powered rockets, applying principles of pressure, trajectory and aerodynamics. The most competitive and energetic activity of the trip — and the one students talk about longest after.

🌿 Nature Trail & Bird Watching

Guided sunrise walk through the surrounding landscape — local bird species, native plants, ecosystem observation. Quiet, meditative and deeply engaging for curious young minds.

Optional Add-ons

Customise Your School Programme

🗺
Sky Map Workshop

Students create their own hand-drawn constellation maps from observation — a take-home artefact from the astronomy session they can keep and refer to.

📓
Field Journal Activity

Guided journaling through the trip — nature observations, farm sketches, astronomy notes. Structured to support science and English writing outcomes.

🎤
Student Presentation Debrief

Students present their top learnings from the trip before departure — building communication skills and reinforcing what they observed.

📸
Trip Photography

A curated set of group and activity photos shared digitally within 48 hours of the trip — for school newsletters, display boards and memory keeping.

🌱
Seed Planting Activity

Each student plants a seed on the farm — connecting food systems learning to a tangible, living outcome they can track over weeks from school.

🧭
Orienteering & Night Walk

A guided after-dark walk using stars for navigation — combining astronomy with geography and building confidence in outdoor environments.

What This Experience Delivers

Students Return With More Than Memories

🔭

Real Science in Action

Constellation maps, telescope observations, water rocket physics — not simulated, not on a screen. Real instruments, real phenomena, real discovery.

🤝

Team Cohesion

Shared overnight experiences build bonds that classroom hours can't replicate. Students who compete in water rockets and watch stars together work together differently afterwards.

🌟

Genuine Curiosity Sparked

Three students from our last school group said they want to study astrophysics. Not because we suggested it. Because looking through a real telescope at Saturn does that to you.

  • WhatsApp coordination group with school POC throughout the trip
Frequently Asked Questions

School Trip FAQs

What age groups is this suitable for?
We recommend Standard 4 and above for overnight trips. Standard 4–6 students benefit most from the farm exploration and creative activities; Standard 7–12 get the most from the astronomy sessions, water rockets and nature walks. Day-only visits can be arranged for younger students from Standard 2.
What is the teacher-to-student ratio required?
We recommend at least 1 teacher per 15 students. Our staff supplement supervision but cannot replace school faculty responsibility. Teachers are considered participants in the trip — they eat, sleep and participate alongside their students.
Is this a day trip or overnight only?
Both options are available. Overnight trips (arrival 2:30 PM, departure 10:30 AM) give access to the full programme including stargazing. Day trips (10 AM–4 PM) cover farm exploration, water rockets, creative workshops and the astronomy introduction — without the telescope session.
Can you accommodate vegetarian / Jain / allergy requirements?
Yes. All meals at Novae Glamp are prepared in-house and we accommodate vegetarian, Jain and common allergy requirements with advance notice. Please share dietary information at the time of booking confirmation, not on the day of arrival.
How do we get a formal quotation for school approval?
WhatsApp or email us with your student count, standard/age group, preferred dates and trip type (day or overnight). We'll respond within 24 hours with a detailed quotation, programme outline and school coordinator checklist for internal approval.
What is the booking and payment process?
Enquiry → Quotation → Date confirmation with 30% advance payment → Balance due 7 days before arrival. We provide an official invoice for school accounts. Cancellation policy: full refund if cancelled 14+ days before; 50% refund within 7–14 days; reschedule credit within 7 days.
