The College is pleased to announce that an International Study Tour to Europe is being planned for September 2024.
The tour will run from 15 September to 6 October 2024, and will begin with a two-day Mercy program in Dublin. This program will provide an immersive experience into the Mercy heritage, from its humble beginnings in Baggot Street, Dublin, to the worldwide impact of the Mercy order today.
The tour then moves to Italy and offers an enriching experience for students, as they will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Italian culture and language. Students will visit some of Italy's most iconic cities, including Rome, Florence, and Venice, where they will learn about Italian history, art, and architecture. They will also have the opportunity to practice their Italian language skills with locals and other students on the tour. There may even be some time to indulge in some wonderful gelato.
Although the final itinerary is still being finalised we anticipate the cost to be around $8500 each. This includes flights, accommodation, transportation, activities, and most meals. This is only a rough estimation as the cost of flights and accommodation in Italy continue to rise. Other factors such as the number of students attending also plays a part in the fluctuation of price.
The tour is limited to 24 students. Those studying Italian in Years 10, 11 or 12 in 2024 will be given first priority. Remaining positions will then be offered to students in Year 10 and 11 in 2024.
