Where in the World Are Students Spending Spring Break?
March 14, 2008 Ah, Spring Break! Many students and faculty will spend their well-deserved time off by travelling to destinations across the world. Several school groups will embark on trips to four different continents and to the Caribbean. South America Mr. Michael Jackson, a veteran travel guide and Head of the Science Department, will take a group of 10 students and six adults to explore the history and culture of Ecuador and then discover the amazing natural environment of the Galapagos Islands. The group will spend 21 days on land and sea travelling the coast of South America along with many islands, where they will explore the region’s mountains and jungles. Mr. Jackson wrote a guidebook to the Galapagos Islands in 1994 and it is still one of the best-selling guide books about the group of islands. While en route, Mr. Jackson will update us through his blog and is travelling with a SPOT GPS device that will track their location. Check it out here. Australia The rugby and girls’ f
