Year 7 Challenge Day invited students to become travel agents for the day. All form groups were mixed up for the day, so all students were pushed out of their comfort zone, but also given the opportunity to meet Year 7 students that they hadn’t met before. Allocated a country, the Year 7 had to reearch that country and its culture, advertise it as a holiday destination, prepare a dish from that country and plan a detailed two week itinerary touring it. The standard was very high and the competition was fierce, but the winning team, Japan, richly deserved first place.
