Quebec Trips
Before COVID one of Lord Tennyson's favourite traditions was the Grade 7 Quebec trip - an optional 7 day adventure that builds on the french immersion experience. The trip was an exchange trip with a school in Quebec (usually Quebec City or Montreal) where students billeted with families. The idea behind this special initiative was to bring alive French-Canadian language and culture to our students. Students were joined by several teacher chaperones.
Since 2019 we have not been able to run the trip. It may happen again the future, so we have kept this page on the website for your information.
This annual trip to Quebec required major planning and fundraising by parents to subsidize costs. Parents and students fundraised in Grade 6 in preparation for their trip in Grade 7. So Grade 6 is a busy year! Traditional Grade 6 fundraising activities include:
and anything else the Grade 6 parents and students dream up. These are substantial fundraising projects to reduce the cost of the trip, and are held at the fundraising committee's discretion. Please support the Grade 6 group as much as you can to make their trip successful. Here is the Tennyson Quebec Exchange Manual.
