Sicily Visit

On 30 April, some of the GCSE geographers embarked on a journey to Sicily for a three-day trip around volatile volcanoes, one of which was the daunting - yet fun - Mount Etna. After our flight, we were met by the looming figure of it, which was the main attraction of the visit (and what we were going to climb on the third day). Instantaneously, we realised just how different life was around a volcano. From lava fields to volcanic islands, we managed to visit lots of amazing places, all relevant to our Geography GCSE course. Making sure to sneak in a few ice cream breaks made for a fantastic all-round trip.

My favourite part of the visit was the early night beach football matches or catch. They served as a well-deserved break from hiking and learning! Although that was definitely a highlight, the amazing teachers really brought the whole trip together, whilst ensuring that every day was insightful, but most of all, enjoyable.
