Throughout the year, Toowoomba Anglican School students have the opportunity to take part in fantastic trips, camps and tours. These on and off site activities allow our students to experience the world outside the classrooms, build new friendships and make memories that will stay with them for life.
This tour consists of a 2 week homestay in Toulouse and a French exchange with partner school Le Caousou. Students have French lessons and attend school with their homestay students and also see the sights around Toulouse.
They then spend a week in Paris where they will see the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, The Louvre, Cruise the River Sienne, visit Versailles and the battle fields.
Set on a World Heritage listed island national park (with a resident population of just two park rangers and their one car), explore the pristine beaches, tall ancient forests and heritage sites. Enjoy 10 days exploring the very scenic area of Maria Island, Tasmania.
Students are challenged outside their comfort zone and while being immersed in an authentic hiking experiences surrounded by stunning landscapes.
The Toowoomba Anglican School Outdoor Education program is an important aspect of the overall approach to holistic schooling.
School camps provide students with challenges which are different to those provided in the classroom and they allow students the opportunity to meet challenges in a safe environment and to meet them shoulder-to-shoulder with their peers and teachers. Each year, the students experience different challenges - some in the rural environment and others in an urban setting.
