First trip by Manx state school
A group of students from QEII High School have set off on a pioneering trip to Japan.
It's believed to be the first one by a Manx state school.
They're accompanied by teaching staff and helpers, including Rob Teare (who runs a Japanese language club for students), and Manx Radio's Howard Caine:
