SALTS 2019
20th Anniversary
TALL SHIP ADVENTURE 2019
April 29-May 3, 2019
Ahoy All!
Tall ship sailing with SALTS has become a tradition at Handsworth and this year we celebrated our 20th
voyage. Over one thousand Handsworth graduates, current students, and
alumni have been incredibly fortunate to have participated in this
unique and amazing experience!
On this anniversary SALTS cast
sail from Victoria and finished the trip in North Vancouver at the
LONSDALE QUAY! This is a first for SALTS to have changed an arrival
destination for any High School, and it is a very exciting addition to
this inspirational and environmentally educational voyage.
Please contact Mr. Hansen mhansen@sd44.ca if you have any questions.

Central Europe 2016
During spring break, 45 students and
4 teachers took a remarkable journey through Central Europe. Their itinerary
included Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, the Netherlands and the
Czech Republic. They summited Mount Pilatus in Lucerne, took a canal cruise
through Amsterdam, visited castles and monuments and enjoyed some of the finest
chocolate and cheese in the world. The focus of this trip was on modern
European history as the students learned about such things as the horrors of
World War 2 in Dachau, the Cold War in Berlin, and legacy of the Habsburgs in
Austria. The group would like to acknowledge the hard work put in by Mr.
Carlson to make this trip happen. For more details on the experience, please
visit the blog that was kept throughout the trip at https://.handswortheurope2016.wordpress.com
