A group of 50 pupils and 6 members of staff from Braidhurst will visit Berlin in Germany next June. Travel will be by coach and overnight ferry via Rotterdam in Holland, and time will be spent in the beautiful towns of Hannover and Osnabruck en route. During the trip to the vibrant and impressive capital city of Berlin, pupils will enjoy a guided tour of the Olympic Stadium, experience a panoramic view of the city from the TV tower, visit the very moving Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp and the Reichstag Parliament building, and will spend time in the famous Kurfustendamm shopping avenue (where they will visit the KaDWe, the biggest department store in Europe), as well as having a guided tour of the city by coach, with stops at the Jewish memorial, the Brandenburg Gate, the remains of the Berlin Wall and the ultra-modern Sony Centre.

It will be an excellent opportunity for pupils to learn more about the history and culture of the city, as well as allowing those students in the group studying German to practise their language skills in real life situations.
