Iceland Tour October 2019

The Humanities Faculty is pleased to offer students (Years 7,8,9 and 10) the exciting opportunity to participate in a 5-day tour to Reykjavik, Iceland. This follows on from the previously successful tours to Europe that have taken place over a good number of years. Students who have participated in previous trips have always commented that this was the extra-curricular highlight of their time at school. Some students have left school with a life-long passion for travelling.
