New York International Residential

Posted 14th October 2026

What an incredible experience for our students!

Thirty-two students from Years 9 and 10 recently returned from our International Residential to New York, where they enjoyed an unforgettable week exploring some of the city's most iconic landmarks and attractions.

During the trip, students visited Times Square, Macy's, the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), St Patrick's Cathedral and Rockefeller Centre. They also had the fantastic opportunity to experience the magic of Broadway by watching Little Shop of Horrors.

The trip provided our students with memorable cultural experiences, opportunities to broaden their horizons and create lifelong memories with their peers.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the staff who dedicated their time, effort and commitment to making this opportunity possible. Your planning, support and care helped create an outstanding experience that our students will never forget.

Thank you to everyone involved in making this trip such a success!
