It's exactly as @PsyGuy said. Our contract states to be an active member in all areas of the school. Guidance given is to join one of the trips, appropriate to grade level. In Primary and Middle School these happen in the school year, High School is one week in the holidays.
Before covid the schedule for these was well known. Post covid the information has come out a bit later, and for example this year I already have travel booked when the school trips are happening.
The expectation are also that you do an hour and a half of extra curricular a week (or equivalent). The professionalism in my school means that aside from teachers where there's some extenuating circumstances happen, most are beyond that minimum expectation in terms of extracurricular. It is really a positive part of the experience of being here, I just wish the rest of the time expectations weren't so maxed out.
