HSS STAFF FUN AND FROLIC

On April 19^th 2012, the staff of Pope John XXIII Higher Secondary School, Quepem ventured for a day’s outing to Spice Village,Khandepar. 
 

 A warm welcome and a cup of lemon grass tea awaited us on arrival. 

 

Without much ado, we set off on a tour of the spice farm and the flower nursery, having fun and also imbibing useful health information along the way. 

On returning to base, we were served a delicious traditional Goan meal.

The stout-hearted among us even dared to take a boat ride on the crocodile-infested waters. 

Indeed, a place to be highly recommended for a day in the embrace of nature!

THE RETURN JOURNEY - TIRED, BUT HAPPY !!!

EXPRESS YOUR FAITH
