INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE PROGRAMME

 The school's exchange programme is called International Exchange Programme.  A return visit is then arranged at a later date.  Children first get to know their exchange partners by taking part in a pen-pal scheme.  The programme is not only intended for students who enjoy using foreign languages.  The two countries most often visited on the programme are France and Germany.  Some students suffer from problems such as homesickness and culture shock.  To help students who have problems, a qualified counselor is always available.  Local visits are described as being educational and also culturally enriching.  Students enjoy visiting theme parks most of all.
