Milton Abbey School – First TRT Tour to Zimbabwe !

20 pupils and 4 teachers from Milton Abbey School have just returned from their first Tag Rugby Trust Tour to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, having enjoyed an unforgettable experience! Led by Mr Peel, who was absolutely delighted with how the trip went, the group threw themselves wholeheartedly into everything Zimbabwe had to offer.

From coaching tag rugby in local primary schools to embracing the warmth, hospitality and vibrant culture of Zimbabwe, the pupils made the most of every opportunity, building friendships, sharing experiences and creating memories that will last a lifetime.

But a TRT Tour is about so much more than rugby! The Milton Abbey group also took part in a wide range of social outreach activities (classroom painting, plastering, plastic recycling and working behind the scenes at an elephant sanctury) working alongside local communities and gaining a genuine insight into everyday life in Zimbabwe.

Their enthusiasm, energy and willingness to get involved in absolutely everything was fantastic to see. They didn't just visit Zimbabwe – they truly immersed themselves in its people, culture and communities. A brilliant first tour, the start of what we hope will be a long-lasting partnership, and we're delighted that Milton Abbey are already talking about returning in 2027 !
