Opportunity: French exchange

Inaugural French Exchange program

On Saturday 9 September, two Year 10 French students, Clare and Dougal, headed to France for a 4 week exchange at the Centre International de Valbonne (CIV). This is a reciprocal arrangement, and NHS had already hosted the French students for four weeks during June- July. During the four weeks in France, students lived with a family, attended the CIV and participated in normal classes. They were immersed in French language and culture and were able to experience life as a French teenager. They also had the opportunity to visit many places along the French Riviera, including, Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Monaco, Grasse and Gourdon. While the situation was daunting at first, both students had a wonderful time and felt that their grasp of the French language improved dramatically during the exchange.

Are you interested? Information evening coming up

NHS intends to offer this exchange program to our Year 10 and 11 French students in coming years, increasing the program to 10 participants. If this is an opportunity that interests your family, we will be holding an information evening on Wednesday 22 November at 6pm in Room M1. Please come along to hear about what the program entails and to ask any questions you may have. If you are unable to attend but would like to know more, please contact Pierrick Hubert or Audra Keane on 9488 2300.
