Call it what it is "RAPE" but due to PC they have to drum it down.
It is believed a Ghanaian security guard was shot and seriously injured after trying to stop the sickening attack on Saturday night.
The pupils, aged 16 and 17, flew to Ghana on the trip that was meant to give them the "opportunity to experience life in a developing country".
The girls and their teacher, who cannot be named, were understood to be recovering from their traumatic ordeal in a British hospital on Sunday night.
They landed back in the UK in the early hours of Sunday morning.
They were part of a larger group of ten schoolchildren who paid lb1,200 each for the trip.
The school, which also cannot be named, partners a West African volunteering charity that supports disadvantaged Ghanaian children.
Pupils stayed in guesthouses within a "secure walled" compound and gardens a few minutes' walk from a local beach. The dormitory-style rooms house up to six guests at a time.
A Ghanaian caretaker and private security team also live on the site in a separate staff block.
The Foreign Office says about 90,000 Britons visit Ghana every year. It says most visits are trouble-free but violent crime can occur "at any time".
The Sun understands the Foreign Office is providing support to the girls and is in close contact with local authorities.
