Arts, Languages and Cultural Programmes
MAKING THE WORLD A SMALLER PLACE - CULTURAL EXCHANGEAfter a successful trip to Chile in 2009, in 2010 we are planning to go to India and students are currently learning about the culture and language of India. Students enrolling next year at Ross Intermediate will have the opportunity to sign up for this amazing opportunity. A meeting for this will be held prior to the Meet the Teacher Evening and details will be available in 2010. The project is a user-pays project however we encourage fundraising and allow parents to pay this off over the 18 months leading up to the trip. This opportunity is only available to Year 7 enrolments. We charge up to $5000.00 for this experience.
