Latin Scholars' Tour
March 2024
Students were transported back in time on the Latin Scholars’ Tour to Italy, where the ancient language of Latin comes to life against the backdrop of stunning historic sites and cultural treasures. Students were immersed in the heart of the Roman Empire as they explored iconic landmarks such as the Colosseum, Pompeii, and the Vatican, all while unraveling the secrets of Latin inscriptions carved into ancient ruins. With opportunities to engage in interactive language workshops, decipher classical texts with expert scholars, and witness the enduring legacy of Latin in the art, architecture, and literature of Italy.
March 2024
Students were immersed in the thrill of snowsports as they carved through fresh powder, conquer challenging terrain, and embrace the camaraderie of fellow snow enthusiasts. Whether they’re perfecting their technique on the slopes, enjoying cozy apres-ski gatherings by the fireplace, or exploring the charming alpine villages, each day is a snow-filled adventure waiting to be discovered.
Performing Arts Tour
December 2023
Students experienced an enriching two-week program of stage shows and workshops with industry professionals on the Performing Arts Tour to England and France. Watching shows on London’s West End, the Globe Theatre and Moulin Rouge in Paris gave students insight into the diversity of the world of theatre. Drama workshops were on offer, as well as backstage tours of The Globe and National Theatre, a visit to William Shakespeare’s home and school in Stratford-Upon-Avon and more sightseeing highlights around the UK and in Paris, forging a bond over their love of the performing arts.
UK Cricket Tour
July 2023
The Cricket Tour to the UK, France and Belgium struck the right balance of friendly fixtures against local opposition, cultural excursions and sporting activities. Playing cricket was certainly the focus, with 20 games played in total, but there was an opportunity to witness Mitch Marsh’s century at Headingley in the 3rd Ashes Test, as well as Vitality Blast T20 matches at The Oval and Old Trafford. A cultural highlight was the day of Battlefields Touring on the Flanders Fields in Belgium and a visit to the graves of two BGS Old Boys, leaving an OBGS tie in remembrance.
New Caledonia
July 2023
Senior French students travelled to New Caledonia over the mid-year break for a week’s immersion in the French language and culture. They stayed with host families for most of their stay, making new connections with locals. Among the highlights of the week included an excursion to L’ile Amedee, the visit to Noumea and Port Moselle, and the Bastille Day celebration, not to forget the cheese degustation in ‘La Place des Cocotiers’.
