Trying to get to Europe for educational purposes!!

Marlborough

Every few years, Marlborough Boys' College runs an educational trip to Europe for those students taking History and Classics.

Shay would very much like to take part in this once-in-a-lifetime trip to see the sights and learn more about the history and classical myths and legends that he normally has to read about in books. As the only Year 10 students taking a Year 11 Classics class, Shay is aware that he is unlikely to get this chance again and would like to make the most of it.

This educational trip will see them spend 4 weeks travelling around Europe, visiting landmarks and learning a bit more about history.

He is fundraising to try and cover the more than $8000 in travel costs - any help is very much appreciated!!
