FRANCE TRIP 2020

Students in Years 10 to 12, in 2020 are you;

Interested in travelling to France?
Improving or learning French?
Seeing historical sights?
Famous Artworks?
Eating Escargot? Croissant?

Then come to the Information Night, on Wednesday 24 July, 6 pm in Room 27.

Please collect a letter, to register your interest for the Information Night, from Mrs Farrell in Staffroom 8 or Ms Mays in Staffroom 2.

At this stage, we are planning to travel to France in March/April 2020 for approximately three weeks. The dates are yet to be finalised, however we are hopeful of a departure close to the end of March 2020, during the last week of term.

The Study Tour will be booked through World Strides, who will organise flights and accommodation in Paris, before we head to Hénin-Beaumont for the homestay portion of our tour and then our homeward departure from Paris.

Host a French Student!

We are also seeking 'Expressions of Interest' from families who would like to HOST a French student in February 2020. We have 26 students coming to visit from our sister school.

Plans are underway for the Lilydale High School 2020 Sister School Exchange with Lycée Darchicourt in Henin-Beaumont, France for students who will be in Years 10 to 12, in 2020.

The students from Lycée Darchicourt are planning to arrive in Melbourne in mid-February (dates to be confirmed) and will be hosted by Lilydale High School students for three weeks.

There will be the opportunity for students who are unable to participate in the return visit to France, to host the French students while they are in Australia.

If you are interested in hosting a student, please contact Kelly Farrell at the school via email: farrell.kelly.k@edumail.vic.gov.au
