As part of the selection process, teaching staff, Heads of House, and the College’s Finance Department will be consulted and asked to provide feedback and suitability information on each candidate in terms of wellbeing record, academic performance, and school fee status. This information will be used to determine the final touring group. Please be aware that Years 9 and 10 (2026) students are prioritised for participation in the proposed tour that are currently or will be selecting Spanish or Art as part of their pattern of study for 2026/27.
To ensure the tour proceeds to the next stage, a ‘non-refundable’ deposit of $2,500 is payable on behalf of any interested student by 5 of December 2025. Information regarding payment will be communicated promptly.
A minimum of 24 deposits must be paid for the tour to proceed. If more than the required number of deposits are paid, a decision will then be made if extra students will be offered a place on the tour. Any student who is not selected to tour will be placed on the waiting list and their deposit will be refunded.
In our preliminary discussions with the tour provider, it is estimated that the tour will cost $9,000. This is subject to change with confirmation of the final itinerary. Currently, the following payment plan is in place:
- $2,500 by 5 December 2025
- $2,500 by 5 February 2026
- $4000 by 28 July 2026
Further payment information will be provided on the information night.
A list of successful candidates selected to tour will be notified once all tour spots have been filled.
