The first Grantley Adams Travel Club is preparing to travel to Panama in August, giving Grantley Adams Memorial Secondary School students an opportunity to experience a new culture while strengthening their understanding of language, business and history.

The initiative, which emerged from the Business Studies Department, was created to broaden students’ horizons beyond the classroom and provide real-world learning experiences.

Teacher and travel club president Mary Thompson told Barbados TODAY the idea was born out of the school’s Spanish for Business programme.
