Another tourist day! We went into London and visited Madame Tussauds, where there were wax models of not only famous figures of Hollywood and English legends, but also of famous Bollywood stars.

We then finished the day by visiting Big Ben and Jubilee Park. We were lucky to have such glorious weather and also arrived on the lightest day of the year, which meant there was daylight until 10 pm.

Day7
We spent the entire day at Chessington Park, which is one of the biggest theme parks in London. We invited a few other schools to come with us and enjoyed the experience with them immensely.
This was a first-class educational experience, where the students learned with other schools from all over the world, boosting morals and confidence amongst the students who learned a lot about the important topics they performed. They also gained an invaluable insight into another culture which will help them all with their future life endeavors. A momentous trip and a prestigious award are given to the students, as both schools gave great contributions to the event.
They returned to the school with a hero’s welcome. Everyone did their schools and also their home city of Bhavnagar proud. Another international claim to fame for the Bhavnagar region.
The Students will be given a 10% discount on their tuition fees if they plan to go for higher studies at Kingston University.
