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

​​Europe 2016.JPG

 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
