Newlands College in Le Quesnoy

Newlands College in Le Quesnoy

Between 18 April and 6 May, 15 students from Newlands College in Wellington participated in a 3 week language and culture trip to France.  The group was firstly based in Paris, before heading down to homestays and language classes in Nice.  One of the highlights of our time in Paris was a day-trip to Le Quesnoy for ANZAC commemorations, followed by a tour of the Arras tunnels.  Students performed an emotional waiata at the mayoral reception in the Le Quesnoy town hall after the ceremony itself.

La prochaine étape sera...
