We have been running highly successful trips to the Ardèche and Mediterranean for the last 14 years in conjunction with PGL.
The trip is mainly water based with half the time being spent on the Mediterranean coast learning to sail, windsurf, canoe surf, snorkel and then moving north to spend time canoeing down the white water rapids in the spectacular Ardèche gorge.
Students also benefit from visiting local towns and villages (enhancing their French vocabulary!). One big highlight is the visit to Aqualand, a water theme park.
All students have a fantastic time, but it must be stressed a PGL adventure is not just about having fun. All students gain in self confidence and develop a social awareness and interaction.
This trip is a wonderful learning environment outside the classroom and students look back on it as being one of their best experiences at the college!
This is an international tournament held every year preceding Wimbledon. All the top lady players from across the world attend, including Kim Clijsters, Justinne Hennin, Jelena Dokie, Anastasia Myskins & Lisa Raymond to name a few.
This trip is usually available to years 7 & 8 (boys included!).
