PUPILS jetted off to South Africa as part of their annual exchange scheme.

Thirty two students in Years 11 to 13 at Lewes Old Grammar were chosen for the trip to Ballito, South Africa, in recognition of their continued contributions to school life.

Throughout the week, they had the opportunity to interact with South African students from Ashton International College, kicking events off with a series of football and hockey matches.

After several fiercely contended games, LOGS pupils took home the 2018 Ashton Cup before taking part in a culture show at the end of the week.

They performed songs, dances and drama sketches alongside their South African counterparts.

The adventure also featured visits to several of the country’s most significant cultural and geographical landmarks.

Pupils toured the Karkloof Canopy to take in the brilliant vistas and see a 20m waterfall up close
