The ongoing growth of the Senior Study Programme has been wonderful to watch. Held on Sundays, it reflects a commitment from many students to invest in their academic development, to build stronger habits, and to prepare themselves well for the examination periods ahead. Success is rarely built in the final days before an assessment; it is built steadily, through consistent effort, honest reflection and a willingness to keep improving. ... See MoreSee Less
You know how, after a memory, a journey, or a moment in time, your perception of it is forever altered? Returning there could never feel quite the same. In the words of the French, it was more than just a trip: ๐ฬง๐ ๐ ๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ ๐ฬ ๐๐ ๐ฃ๐๐ - it changed my life.
A typical day on the 2026 French trip began with breakfast and morning preparations alongside our host families, most of whom spoke only French. From there, we travelled to school by tram, bus, car or on foot, gradually becoming more confident navigating a world that, only days earlier, had felt completely unfamiliar.
Each morning, we split into smaller groups for French lessons before setting off to explore. We wandered through museums, visited a perfumery in รze, and took trains to places like Monaco. By late afternoon, we escaped the Mediterranean heat at Nice's pebble beach, where the cool, glassy water washed away the day's exhaustion.
I don't think I'll ever forget running my hands along stones that once formed a medieval castle in the Louvre, sitting in mountain villages untouched by time, or breathing in the lingering scent of incense, wax and centuries of history inside ancient cathedrals.
Years from now, I'll forget the tram timetables, the street names and the route to school, but I'll never forget the feeling of discovering that the world is infinitely bigger, and far more beautiful than the lives we'd always known in Canberra.
