Dear Parent/Carer,

After last year’s very successful volunteering trip to Ghana in Africa, we are delighted to offer the same trip again to current students in Years 10, 11 and 12 for two weeks in June/July 2026. We run this trip every two years to allow students an extended period in which to fundraise, which is something that we help them to do. Students gain invaluable and wonderful experience working in a school on the south coast of the country, and can also be part of a building project. They also experience African drumming workshops, visit beautiful beaches, a waterfall and the rainforest, and hand feed a colony of wild monkeys.
