Form 5 play host to French visitors

Date: Wednesday 17 October 2007

We welcomed the children of the Ecole de la Sainte Famille in Audruicq to Canterbury and St Edmund's yesterday. Having spent the morning in Canterbury, the visitors ate their picnic lunch on the Sheep Field at school and then enjoyed a guided tour of the campus in the company of our own Form 5 boys and girls. Mr Lambert then led a wonderful singing lesson at the Music School for guests and hosts together, the whole ensemble singing in both French and English. We were delighted to entertain our counterparts to tea in the dining hall before they left for home. It was an excellent day and there was bags of enthusiasm: as one youngster put it, 'I made loads of new friends! When can I see them again?' In May is the answer, when our Form 5 children will make their next visit to Audruicq.
