In December, 29 students embarked on an extraordinary journey to the United States for the highly anticipated Basketball Tour. The students immersed themselves in the country’s vibrant basketball culture, playing in multiple high school games, attending NBA matches, and attending a sold-out college game at the iconic Madison Square Garden.

The tour went beyond the basketball court, offering the students a chance to explore the rich history and political landscape of the United States. The group visited prominent landmarks in Washington, D.C., toured renowned museums, and experienced the historic streets of Boston and New York. The trip wrapped up with a thrilling day at Disneyland in Los Angeles, bringing a magical end to their three-week adventure.

Reflecting on the experience, Head of Noake House Daniel Cadby, shared “Throughout the tour, the boys showed pride, enthusiasm, and a desire for learning. They made the most of every opportunity, formed new friendships and gained memories that will stay with them for a lifetime.”
