Each year, the School’s Beyond Queenslea Drive (BQD) program offers an array of global experiences for boys in Year 10.

The exchange opportunity saw student Nicholas Wylynko spend four amazing weeks at St. Christopher’s School in Virginia, USA earlier this term.

“St Christopher’s is a school quite like Christ Church but smaller with about 100 boys in each year group,” says Nicholas.

“The St. Christopher’s boys don’t wear school uniform, but have most of the same subjects and a school environment like Christ Church.”

“I particularly enjoyed a humanities program in Modern History; post 9/11 with Years 11 and 12 students, which explored America’s position in the world, and current affairs and events.”

“Going to the USA for exchange is a great way to learn about the American culture and eat lots of pizza, hamburgers and drink soda – their school canteen even supplied free ice cream every day,” said Nicholas.

Nicholas is looking forward to welcoming their exchange buddies from St. Christopher’s in Week 5.
