Visit to Salamanca

In October, 30 students from Years 10 and 11 took part in an MFL visit to Salamanca, Spain. The students
received intensive language lessons in the mornings and undertook cultural visits in the afternoons.
In the afternoons we did a walking tour of Salamanca, visited the cathedrals and climbed up the tower for
amazing views over the city.
We took part in a treasure hunt style quiz in the Plaza Mayor, having to speak to locals and shop
keepers to get the answers.

We also visited the Casa Lis Art Deco Museum and then went to a local café for churros con chocolate.

Visit to Lille

During the first week of December, a
group of Year 10 and 11 French students
travelled to Lille, France.
Once in Lille they tried out their French skills
with a French lesson at the University of
Boulogne-sur-Mer.
They also enjoyed a town trail, a visit to the
spectacular night-time Christmas market in
Lille, a day trip to the beautiful town of
Bruges in Belgium and a fantastic final
morning creating Belgian chocolate
masterpieces at a chocolate-making
workshop.
