London trips
Since 1986 our school has taken pupils to London annually. The trip has always been a great success and enabled our pupils to practise their English while staying with their host families/in their free time and visiting famous London sights, going to museums etc.
Our school can be proud of our annual London trips.
London 2006
The forms H 8a, b and R 8a, b, c and the teachers HD, HM, JA, MA, RI, VA and Thore Schick took part in the trip.
The pupils were highly motivated, interested in every aspect of the trip and the weather was very un-English - it didn´t rain. It was a great joy for us teachers to accompany our pupils on this trip.
