Mexico Trip (2027)

Friday, 25th July 2025 at 7:40am

A selected group of Year 12 and Year 13 students (current Year 10 and Year 11) have the opportunity to attend an inspiring, two-week trip to Mexico with the Operation Wallacea organisation.

On this trip students will work with Professors and graduate students from UK universities (including Cambridge and Oxford) to collect data on birds, bats, herpetofauna, butterflies, ungulates, felids and primates to evaluate the impact of climate change.

In addition, students will have the chance to work alongside the team at Akumal Dive Center to complete their PADI open water dive training and complete a Caribbean reef ecology course in which they will learn about the major conservation issues with Caribbean reefs and will participate in a variety of techniques for coral reef monitoring.

Students will need to apply to attend this trip as capacity is strictly limited, therefore, it is likely that not all students who complete this expression of interest form will be selected to attend this trip.

Successful candidates will demonstrate the school values and a keen interest in Biology and conservation.

Applications close at 8:00pm, 11th of August 2025. No late applications will be accepted.
