French Exchange
We were delighted to welcome the students and teachers from our partner school College Saint-Michel – Belmont sur Rance to Ballinamore last week. The visiting students got to experience the broad range of subjects across the school including practical subjects they do not have in France.
They explored sights around the town of Ballinamore, enjoyed a trip to The Marble Arch Caves and Strandhill for some surfing and a hike up Knocknarea. We thoroughly enjoyed this first half of our exchange, and we certainly look forward to continuing our friendly connection in March 2024.
