谁去中国？ - Who wants to go to China?

北京 - Beijing

This year Mrs Ennis will be teaching a Chinese Studies option to Form 4 and would like to offer all interested senior pupils the opportunity of a lifetime, to visit China next summer.

The trip would would take in both Beijing and Shanghai, and include highlights such as Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall of China, the Summer Palace and the old French Concession in Shanghai.
Pupils will be able to try authentic Chinese specialities such as Peking Duck and take a hutong rickshaw tour through the narrow streets of Beijing. The proposed trip would leave Dublin on Tuesday 9 August and return on Wednesday 17 August 2016.
There will also be a minimum of one hour of language teaching related to the activities to be completed each day. The provisional cost of the trip including all travel expenses, visits, hotel accommodation, insurance and all meals (with the exception of lunch and dinner on the final day in Shanghai) is €1684.

Students will need their own valid passport and will need to apply for a tourist visa. If you would like your child to participate please obtain a form from Mrs Ennis and return it with a deposit of €150 (cheques made payable to The High School) by Friday 2nd October.

If you have any questions, please contact Mrs Ennis.
