Religious Studies/ History Trip to Eastern Europe

Chinese New Year, 2005.

    The History and Religious Studies Departments are offering to students (Years 9 and above) the chance to take part in a trip to Eastern Europe, during the Chinese New Year holidays of 2005. Students will visit Prague, Krakow and Berlin in order to study in detail the historical events surrounding the Jewish Holocaust and World War II, while exploring the religious question of the problem of evil. They will, among other things, visit a Jewish Ghetto, see Schindler’s factory (from the film) and have a guided coach excursion to Auschwitz and Birkenau.

  The company who would run the trip is called Key Stage Travel – they are a UK based company that specialises in educational tours for schools. Students will be accompanied at all times by members of the KGV staff, as well as the tour operators. 

The trip will cost $15,900 HKD. This price includes:

Ø                  airfare

Ø                  accommodation

Ø                  all meals

Ø                  additional outings

Ø                  visas

Ø                  entrance to sites

Ø                  land travel (train)

It does not include any additional money required by students for personal shopping.

 The trip will leave Hong Kong on Friday 4^th February and return on the 13^th February.

  Places are limited so a deposit of $1000 is required to secure a position on the trip. This needs to be returned to Miss Foley or Mrs Tsui, along with the slip below, by Friday 15/10/04.

This will be the trip of a lifetime! Don’t miss it!!
