Volcanic paninis!

This year’s Geography tour for Lower School boys went to Sicily. In a packed programme, the boys saw Mount Etna, went paddling in the Alcantara River after descending the gorge and climbed on Vulcano, a volcanic island 16 miles north of Sicily.

“At Mount Etna we were able to see the lava flow that had happened the previous week,” said Geography teacher and Director of Assessment Neil Enright. “Some of the more intrepid QE boys were really quite keen to toast their paninis in the fumaroles!”

The trip also provided the boys with an opportunity to have fun on the beach – burying each other in sand – as well as the chance to pick up some Italian. “I think most of them can now quite confidently order ice cream,” added Mr Enright.
