PASSPORTS at the ready!
Today we’re going globe-trotting as we remember school trips in the 1990s and 2000s.
These pictures were taken during visits organised by long-serving modern languages teacher David Huggon.
The 61-year-old, recently featured in the Gazette, is retiring as head of Spanish at Colchester Sixth Form College.
Joining forces - Colchester students and schoolchildren from an Ecuadorian village, in 2010
Mr Huggon has taught at the college since 1989, started teaching mainly French but was then put in charge of Spanish.
In addition to organising countless trips to Spain, he and his students have raised around £250,000 for charitable projects in Paraguay, Peru and Ecuador.
They also enjoyed 12 trips to South America, starting in 1997.
These pictures focus on those visits and we have an upcoming spread of photos to share from the trips to Spain.
