2020 France Study Tour
Every year we have the pleasure of hosting ten students from our sister school in Orléans in France and this year we are also welcoming two teachers and the school principal. Our French guests arrive at the end of this term, Saturday 13 July, and it is time to register your interest in hosting.
The advantages of hosting are immeasurable. Amongst other benefits, you gain insights into French culture, you are able to share your beautiful city, state and country with an interested overseas visitor, and you can make long lasting friendships with someone from a different culture, sometimes with their whole family! Information about the individual students who are visiting this year is available from your child’s French teacher or from Ms Thomson - please send an email to athomso@fhs.vic.edu.au to receive an information sheet about the visiting students.
Application Forms below:
If you are considering attending the French Language and Culture excursion to Paris, Normandy, Brittany and Orléans in 2020, then it is also important to consider hosting a student, as this will definitely help your chances of successful selection.
