A French adventure awaits our students

Get ready for a year of excitement like never before! Hold onto your seats as we unveil our incredible plans for 2024, which are bound to leave you thrilled. Picture this: a journey that will take you to Collège-Lycée Viala-Lacoste in the enchanting region of Provence, France.

The dynamic partnership between Girton Grammar School and Viala-Lacoste has thrived, and we're not slowing down! Brace yourselves for a journey of personal and linguistic growth that's nothing short of extraordinary.

We're eyeing an adventure for a handpicked group of five to six students from our 2024 Year 10 French class. They'll jet off to Viala-Lacoste during Term 4 2024, embarking on an unforgettable 8- to 9-week experience. But that's not all – we're playing host too! An equal number of enthusiastic French students from Viala-Lacoste will grace us with their presence during Term 2 of 2024. The exact dates? Keep your eyes peeled for those.

Are you ready to dive in? It's time to make your move! We've got an Expression of Interest form waiting for you. If the idea of this epic exchange speaks to your adventurous spirit, don't waste a moment. Fill in that form and send it our way. 

But wait, there's more! We want to know all about you – in French, no less. Tell us about yourself, your family, and the things that set your heart racing. A little sneak peek: our French friends on the other side of the world are getting ready, and your details will give them a head start.

This golden opportunity is tailor-made for those of you who are ready to rock Years 11 and 12 with your French skills. And here's the twist – being part of this exchange means you have to play host too! Brace yourselves for a cultural fusion like no other. Just a heads up: think about the logistics at home – it's all part of the adventure!
