Greenview Golf Resort, GazipurQuote from one the Class of 2024 graduates regarding last senior retreat–“Definitely our Senior Retreat to Mati-Ta in Chittagong. It was my first school trip since joining ISD and also my first time away from home but that didn’t bother me because those were the best four days I had in the entire school year. The memories and the laughs that my friends and I had are something I’m going to cherish for a long time.”
