Having only been on the eighth grade trip, Kilmurray said “I think it’s very cool [that field trips are coming back], I’m happy about it!
I’m excited!”
Kilmurray explained that she is looking forward to more trips because “[trips] create more of a sense of community because you all come together.”

Mr. Masters shared that the impact of school trips continues on, even after leaving the St. George’s community. “They’ll … remember those trips. So it not only creates bonds, but it creates an experience that’s longer lasting, … they can then hang that on the school culture.”
