As the school term ended and summer began, three teams of our students embarked on an unforgettable journey to Morocco, immersing themselves in its rich culture and breathtaking landscapes.

From the outset, the students were welcomed by Morocco’s vibrant culture. They explored bustling markets, learned about local traditions, and enjoyed authentic Moroccan cuisine, gaining a deep appreciation for the country’s heritage.

The students trekked through Morocco’s stunning mountains, where they marvelled at the natural beauty, climbing 3200m above sea level! They visited an Argan cooperative on the way to Essaouira where they watched nuts being prepared and oil being extracted to produce Argan oil, a local treasure used in various pharmaceuticals.

A key highlight was participating in a variety of community projects designed to support the villagers. Our students not only gained practical skills but also developed a deeper understanding of rural life.

The adventure continued with visits to the local waterfall, playing football with the locals, exploring the coastal city, and spending relaxing moments on the beach. 

The trip also included special moments of celebration, with several students marking their birthdays in this unforgettable setting - a truly magical way to celebrate. This trip was more than just an adventure, it was a profound educational experience. The students returned home with new perspectives, enriched by the memories and lessons learned in Morocco.
