If you are interested in being part of this exciting trip, the first information document will be available from Mrs Keeling shortly. Students are asked to register their initial interest and to complete and return the form to the International Department by 29 August. A non-refundable deposit of $200 will be requested soon after. Students may still register to go on this trip after 29 August but it would be preferable if students have registered by the end of September in order to receive all the information updates. The final cut-off date will be when the flight tickets need to be paid.
Please contact the International Department if you have any questions.
