\nAt the end of the summer term, students embarked on an exhilarating week of diving around the stunning islands of Gozo and Comino in Malta. The group, comprising both newly qualified divers and those aiming to advance their skills, enjoyed exploring caves, wrecks and encountering diverse marine life. They concluded their trip with a hot but rewarding day in Valletta, exploring the historic capital. The students impressed the diving instructors with their skills and conduct, making the trip a rewarding experience for all. Plans are already in place for the next diving adventure in Indonesia in 2025!<\/p>\n
\nNineteen Year 8 students participated in the return leg of the German Exchange trip to Offenburg following their German partners’ visit to the UK in June. Accompanied by Mr Walters, Miss Foerster-Marsden and Miss Willows, the students enjoyed a week of cultural immersion, visiting Triberg’s waterfalls, Freiburg and Europapark. They also attended lessons at the partner school, Schiller-Gymnasium whilst living with their host families, enriching their understanding of German culture. The host families praised the students for their politeness and several exchange partners have already planned future visits, continuing the strong bond between the two schools.<\/p>\n
\nThe Zurich trip kicked off with a visit to Zurich Zoo. The students then explored the mountains, including Leysin, Anz\u00e8re, Glacier 3000 and the thermal baths at Saillon. The trip also featured a delightful time at Lake Geneva, with a tour of the old town, a boat trip from Lausanne to Montreux and visits to Ch\u00e2teau du Chillon and the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. Both students and staff thoroughly enjoyed the experience, making it a memorable adventure for all involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
