The Arts and Culture Club is organizing a 7-day tour of London with EF Tours. The tour is fast paced and covers major attractions in London and surroundings. The program fee includes round-trip airfare, ground transportation, hotels, breakfast, and dinner daily, sightseeing tours led by licensed local guides, theatre performance, entrance to special and attractions. Students are expected to buy their own lunches and pay gratuities.
This trip is a great educational opportunity for students to develop independence and citizenship in a different culture, as well as develop personal and social responsibility. Students will also be able to get a concrete visual of the history of London and its amazing heritage. The Great Wen, Londinium, Big Smoke... a city as storied as London is bound to accumulate a great many monikers, but what it means to those who visit can never be captured in a single word. Under the mint green arches of Covent Garden, where actors once plied their trade on makeshift stages and farmers brought fresh harvest for sale, a bustling market with a dizzying variety of goods awaits you. The Palace of Westminster, where The U.K.'s Houses of Parliament meet, you will visit Queen Elizabeth Tower, whose nickname 'Big Ben' refers to its largest bell. Stepping from the historical to the cultural, you'll get to experience a lovely theatre performance capped off with a ride on the London Eye–a sleek, modern Ferris wheel that stands a towering 36-stories tall on the London skyline. The streets and sights of London are a sprawling tapestry, threaded with thousands of years of rich, complex history–from its origins as a Roman port of trade, to its rise as the centre of a global-spanning empire, London remains the beating heart of the British Isles.
London is the capital and largest city[d] of both England and the United Kingdom, with a population of 8,866,180 in 2022. The wider metropolitan areais the largest in Western Europe, with a population of 14.9 million.[7] London stands on the River Thames in southeast England, at the head of a 50-mile (80 km) estuary down to the North Sea, and has been a major settlement for nearly 2,000 years. Its ancient core and financial centre, the City of London, was founded by the Romans as Londinium and has retained its medieval boundaries. The City of Westminster, to the west of the City of London, has been the centuries-long host of the national government and parliament.
Ecole Salish Secondary Fine Arts department believe that this trip will provide students with an incredible learning experience of Fine Arts history and contemporary culture outside of the classroom. I know I am really looking forward to this wonderful experience.
***Students need to see Ms. Trujillo (RM 112) to pick up a registration request form for parents/guardians to sign. Registration information will be send out once approval has been given by the Superintendents Office at the Surrey School Board.
