James Hargest College pupils who visited Cambodia on a mission trip had a "life-changing" experience.
Fifteen year 12 and 13 students and two teachers travelled to the country's capital Phnom Penh this month to work in an orphanage.
The students spent 12 days teaching English in a language school, as well as working in a programme with children from the slums.
James Hargest College head of department guidance counsellor Sandra Tyree said the students had fundraised for the trip themselves and paid the rest of the costs their own way.
The students were asked to give the trip a rating afterwards and they all gave it at least a 10 out of 10, and some said it was 100 out of 10, she said.
Year 13 student Lauren Brown said the trip had been life changing and it changed the way the students saw the world.
