Las Vegas Geography Trip
Another fantastic day on our Geography trip!
Students enjoyed a visit to the world-famous Bellagio Fountains, taking in the spectacular water, music and light show on the Las Vegas Strip. It was amazing to see one of the city's most iconic attractions up close and experience the unique atmosphere of Las Vegas after dark.
Afterwards, we headed to Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. for our evening meal, where everyone had the chance to relax, enjoy some great food and reflect on the experiences of the past few days.
From exploring the extreme environment of Death Valley to visiting the engineering wonder of the Hoover Dam, and now experiencing the bright lights of Las Vegas, our students have enjoyed a truly unforgettable educational adventure. They continue to be excellent ambassadors for the school, demonstrating outstanding behaviour and enthusiasm throughout the trip.
📸 More photos and updates will be shared soon as our adventure continues!

Las Vegas 2026
What an incredible few days our Geography students have had since arriving in Las Vegas!
We've been lucky enough to experience some of the most spectacular landscapes and geographical features the USA has to offer. Our first adventure took us to Death Valley National Park, where students witnessed first-hand the extreme conditions that make it one of the hottest and driest places on Earth. From dramatic desert scenery to fascinating discussions about physical geography, climate, and landforms, it was a fantastic learning experience.
We also visited the engineering marvel that is the Hoover Dam, exploring how this iconic structure manages water resources and generates hydroelectric power for millions of people across the region. The scale of the dam and the views over Lake Mead were truly breathtaking.
The students have been a credit to the school throughout the trip, showing enthusiasm, curiosity, and resilience despite some early starts and busy days. We are all looking forward to the next stages of our adventure and creating even more unforgettable memories.
