French Exchange Visit

In May 2011, twenty-one students from Years 7 and 8 travelled to France to stay with the French exchange students in Guipavas, Callington's twin town.

The students spent the weekend with their host families.

On Monday morning, they visited French schools: le Collège du Viszac and le Collège St Charles and experienced life in a French school. In the afternoon, they visited a ‘Strawberry Museum' in Plougastel (home of the strawberry industry in France) and a Strawberry Farm.

On Tuesday students went shopping in Brest and visited the French equivalent of the ‘Eden Project'. They then went to Moulin Blanch, a local beach in Brest.

There was a Treasure Hunt organised on Wednesday in the town centre of Guipavas, before students returned to Roscoff to catch the ferry home to Plymouth.

All students were a credit to the College and their families. Mr Dew, Ms Kergosien and Mrs Masters would like to thank both English and French host families for yet another successful French Exchange.
