• Europe Study Tour 2013 - Exciting Opportunity for Students in Years 9, 10 and 11

  21 February, 2012

  The HSIE / History Department faculty has been busy organising a study trip to Europe in the September school holidays next year.

  

  The proposed tour will have a strong academic focus and will specifically target students planning to study HSIE/History subjects at the HSC; Geography (World Cities - London and Paris case studies and the Global Tourism option); Modern History (WWI, WWII and Battlefields) and Ancient History (Rome, Pompeii, Herculaneum).  Syllabus links of relevance can also be found in Stage 4 and 5 History (Australians at War and Investigating Ancient Societies).

  

  The study tour will be specifically targeted at students in Years 9, 10 and 11 in 2013. The tour will be led by the HSIE/History staff with expert local guides on the ground in Europe.

  

  The cost of the tour will be approximately $6350 which includes airfares, accommodation, breakfast, dinners, and transport costs in Europe, entrance fees, tour escort and local guides. The tour will be organised through Academy Travel who specialise in overseas study tours.

  

  An information presentation evening for parents of students who will be in Years 9, 10 and 11 in 2013 will be held on Monday, 23rd of April at 7.00pm in the school library. Parents will be asked to reply with an expression of interest. A 10% deposit will then be called for and parents given the option of instalment payments.

  In the 12 months prior to the trip, fundraising activities will be conducted to raise money for on-ground costs in Europe including lunch money every day and other minor incidentals. Regular tour meetings will be held with students and parents to inform them of the details of trip requirements as the tour date approaches.

  If you are interested in finding out more about this exciting opportunity for your child please do not hesitate to contact Mr Wayne Feebrey, Mr Rob King or Mr. Spencer Goddard at the school on 63 327 334.
