Year 8 Trip to Boulogne-Sur-Mer

On Thursday 28 September 2017, 121 excited Year 8’s set off early to catch the Eurotunnel and spent the day in Boulogne-Sur-Mer. The sun shone and it was a very warm autumn day. All girls joined in a range of activities: castle and cathedral visit, walk around the old and new town, buying food and souvenirs, ordering drinks and food in a café. We were extremely impressed by the enthusiasm of the girls, their willingness to speak French and their behaviour. Bravo Year 8s.

Year 13 French students also came along and were able to work in Boulogne’s media centre to collect authentic sources for their individual research projects, part of their A Level examination. It was a pleasure to witness them conversing in French.

May I take this opportunity to thank again all the staff who came along.
