Exchanges are made with students from Nea-Zealand
Our school was delighted to host a dozen students from St Margaret's School, Wellington, N-Z.
The students who vivited us made a very nice presentation about their stay in Évreux, to be seen here: ici.
Ces rencontres sont largement dues à l'initiative des enseignants K. de Mecquenem (anglais) qui a préparé le programme, les activités et animé les échanges avec ces élèves de Nouvelle-Zélande. "Conseiller Histoire" : L. Grillet (Histoire & Géographie).
