ITALY STUDY TOUR 2024 - Applications now extended

We are happy to announce applications for our Italy Study Tour in 2024 have now been extended. 

To date we have received a number of applications, but we understand that some families have been on vacation and have not had the opportunity to submit one.

The aim of the tour is to give students of Italian the opportunity to experience the language and the culture firsthand. Students will become more culturally aware about both the language and lifestyle and gain a greater appreciation of the language that they study. As well as visiting many of the places that students learn about in class, they will also experience a home - stay component, where students will gain a real insight into both Italian school life and home life and be forced to speak Italian in a ‘real’ situation. Students will have the opportunity to stay with students who study at our Sister School, the Istituto Istruzione Superiore Biagio Pascal, a Senior Secondary College situated in Novara, in the Piemonte region. The school has a science and language focus and therefore is predominantly academic in nature. 

Applications for Italy Study Tour 2024 are now open and can be downloaded from My News feed.

Please note applications are to be submitted by Monday 8 May 2023 (Term 2, Week 3).

Please be advised this tour is only offered to students who will be undertaking the study of Italian in Years 10-12 in 2024.
