Next Year's French exchange letters are available to Year 8 now!

Year 8 had an assembly this morning where they heard from Madame Goncellin, the exchange organiser and 4 Year 9 students about their experiences taking part in the French exchange this year.
Many thanks to Hennie Steinveg, Patrick Sheppard, Rob Lewis and Annabel Hegarty for talking about their French exchange experiences so eloquently.

Letters for next year's Year 9 students about the French exchange were given out in assembly and are also available now from the main office or from the MFL department in B block. The exchange is open to students in all French classes. If you are interested please return your letter and the deposit to the curriculum assistants in the main office by next Friday 18th July.

Year 9 also completed a survey about the French exchange when they returned. Here are some of their thoughts! If you are wondering whether to take part in the exchange next year read these comments and also look at the magnificent photos in the post below! Please ask any member of the MFL department if you have any further questions.









Here are a few more pictures from a very successful trip!

The pupils were a credit to the school!

Merci beaucoup to all the French exchange teachers!

As a token of their appreciation the Year 9 French exchange students signed this card and gave it to Madame Goncellin, Madame Thomas and Mr. Morgan. 
The picture is of the passage Pommeraye, a stunning shopping arcade in Nantes.
