A group of 45 S4 pupils have recently returned from a 7-day Social Subjects trip to China. The trip included visiting Beijing and Shanghai.

Pupils had the opportunity to visit Historical and Cultural sites  in Beijing related to China’s past and present. The sites visited included the Great Wall of China, the Temple of Heaven, the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and Tiananmen Square.

Shanghai is one of the most modern cities in the world with skyscrapers reaching heights of over 600m tall with plans for even taller buildings to come. In Shanghai pupils visited the Pearl TV Tower; had a spectacular night-time cruise along the Pudong River and attended a breath-taking Acrobat show.

This was a trip of a lifetime and it certainly lived up to pupils’ expectations!
