Five Year 10 students return from their exchange in France

After spending six weeks in Lyon, our students (Isabella Conroy, Orla Darroch, Pascale Otton, Scarlett White and Amelia Wilcsek) have returned from their language and cultural exchange in France. During their stay, they lived with host families, attended school at the Lycée Saint Marc, and experienced day‑to‑day life in one of France’s most historic and dynamic cities.

The exchange offered them the chance to use their French in authentic contexts and to gain a deeper understanding of French culture. Many have shared stories of navigating new routines, trying regional foods, and building connections with their host communities.

The students represented the school with maturity and enthusiasm throughout the program. Their return brings fresh perspectives to our language classrooms, and the insights they have gained will continue to enrich their learning and that of their peers.

The school is proud of what they achieved during their time abroad and pleased to welcome them back into our community.
