Opportunity: Classical tour of Greece and Italy

Does your child have a passion for classical history?

This is a chance to visit some of the most exciting sites of the ancient world. Over two weeks at the end of November this year we are planning a tour of Athens, Delphi, and Olympia; followed by Pompeii, Herculaneum and Rome.

Tick the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and the Colosseum off your bucket list. And that is just the beginning.

This trip will focus on the classical world and the archaeological remains of it in Greece and Italy. But there will be some time for enjoying the vibrant modern culture of both these countries.

The trip is planned to run from November 25 till December 7 (so a great alternative to Schoolies for Year 12s) and we invite interest from anyone in Years 9-12 who are doing Classics, considering doing it in the future, are thinking about Ancient History or just have an interest in the ancient world!

We anticipate the trip to cost a little over $5000 per student (final costs will be announced at the information night).

We will be holding an information evening on Thursday March 2 at 6pm but would welcome expressions of interest prior to that.
