Kaikorai Valley College students Alyssa Bayne (left) and Amy Hitchcox, both 17, pose with a skull and a globe in front of their peers, ahead of their European trip later this month.
The group of 25 students will spend eight nights in London and three nights in Paris as well as visiting World War 1 battlefields.
The students will be hosted by the New Zealand embassies in London and Paris, where they will meet the ambassadors.
Alyssa is holding the skull to represent the group's planned visit to the Globe Theatre in London to watch a Shakespearean play.
Amy said she was "very excited" for the opportunity to go to Europe.
"Some people I know haven't left the country, let alone gone to Europe."
She was most looking forward to going to Paris, climbing the Eiffel Tower and eating a snail.
