Geography and History in Italy

28 students from Years 10, 11 and 12 spent three days on the Italian coast looking at the effect of volcanoes, including the historic ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum and the crater of the, still active, Mount Vesuvius itself. They also explored the Amalfi coast and the island of Capri and investigated local “food technology” by visiting a mozzarella farm and attending a class on how to make lemon sorbet.
