Year 8 'Club Italia' Excursion

On Thursday the 17^th of May the Year 8 Italian students attended a fantastic day of celebrating Italian food and culture at Club Italia in Leopold accompanied by six keen staff members and six Year 10 volunteer helpers.

The enthusiasm of the students was infectious and their behaviour exemplary as they made pizza and crostoli biscuits, played bocce and watched a movie in Italian. Despite initial hesitation, the ballroom dancing became a firm favourite among all staff and students.

Many thanks to the staff and volunteers at Club Italia for hosting us and making us so welcome, and also to the Year 10 students Lauren, Matilda, Kiera, Caine, Georgia and Hannah for their involvement and assistance. All’anno prossimo!!!
