SPANISH TRIP

The week before the Christmas break, a group of 40 students went to Spain to participate in an immersive Spanish experience.

The trip started with a big hurdle as, due to the snow, the flight was cancelled. However, we managed to work with the air company and were able to fly the following day.

Once in Spain, we met the Spanish students we were partnered with, and the Stringer students fully immersed in all activities. It was amazing to see how they threw themselves into the Spanish culture. We were in Jaen, a small city where English is not really spoken. Our students used their Spanish in shops, restaurants and participated in many activities with their Spanish partners.

There was also time for fun as well as learning. We had a bowling night with the Spanish students and we finished with a disco night.

Everywhere we went we were complimented on the behaviour and respect that our students showed. As teachers, we felt extremely proud of our students. Not only did they learn more Spanish and about the culture, but they also demonstrated perfect manners and exemplary behaviour.

Overall, 10 out of 10!
