Students at Haberdashers’ Girls’ School in Elstree took their classroom learning out into the world at the end of last term, hosting a wide range of educational trips.
The first-ever joint diving trip to Indonesia gave students the chance to swim alongside coral walls at Bunaken Marine Park, combining adventure with marine biology study. Older students, from Year 10 to Upper Sixth, visited Japan, exploring Tokyo and taking a cable car up Mount Komagatake.
In Kyoto, they visited several UNESCO heritage sites, including the Temple of the Golden Pavilion, the Arashiyama bamboo forest, and Kiyomizu Temple. Whilst Sixth Form students attended a performance of Othello at the Theatre Royal Haymarket.
Elsewhere, students studied German history in Berlin, visiting landmarks such as the Brandenburg Gate, the remains of the Berlin Wall, and Checkpoint Charlie.
French language skills were put to the test on a trip to the Opal Coast, where students navigated local markets and sampled traditional delicacies, including escargot.
Looking back, these trips brought learning to life and set a high note for the terms ahead.
