Last year, Wetherby Senior School travelled to the island of São Miguel in the Azores for five days of adventure! Discovering some of the island’s most incredible geographical treasures, they experienced hot springs, forest-lined lakes and a pineapple plantations to name but a few highlights!
We hear from Wetherby Senior School students about their ‘best bits’ and what they gained from the trip:
