They worked efficiently and showed teamwork. Our guides were very impressed with their dedication to get the job completed. It was great to see our students interact with the local commune, as they got to practise their French communication skills as well.

We are working on more opportunities and community links in the coming terms, so that students can be proud of and feel fully part of the area in which they are growing up.
