Beginning in 6th grade at Hong Kong International School, the kids are required to go away on a PEAK trip (it is some learning related acronym, but I don't know it at the moment). The Middle School is divided into what they call "houses". All the house names are related to areas in Hong Kong. So, Trey is in the Central House, but there are also Lantau, Peak, Shek-O, etc. The 6th grade PEAK trip is the same for everyone. They all go to Beijing, but in stages. So, the first House leaves on Friday, next on Saturday, etc.
Trey left for Beijing last Sunday morning and returned late last night. The 7th and 8th graders have a small variety of trips that they can choose four from, and one is chosen for them. Unfortunately, due to the Typhoon looming, many Middle School trips were either cut short or canceled. Trey really lucked out for timing as his House was able to complete their entire trip with no change in itinerary. What an experience for our 6th grader!! I haven't seen his photos yet, but it sounds like he had a great time...despite some very grumpy adults on the trip. So happy to have him home safe!
