WHAT
Four days of school exchange working on collaborative projects with your peers at St Anthony’s. Are you ready to use English to build bridges, discover other cultures and get to know part of our Canossian family on the other side of the world?
A trip to Singapore wouldn’t be complete without experiencing its vast biodiversity in parks, gardens, giant greenhouses and exploring forests and mangroves on adjacent islands! We will discover what makes Singapore a ‘city of the future’ , while also learning about its history, traditional cultures and religions by visiting places of worship and museums. If you’re ready for an adventure that could change the way you see the world, this trip is for you.
WHY
To explore the values that make us Canossians and understand our shared story, and to learn from one another. Seeing a society that prioritizes quality of life and celebrates diversity allows us to imagine our future with a fresh perspective.
