French Exchange Departs
The 9th visit from Lycee Sacre-Coeur
The midterm break brought the first farewell of the year, as Shawnigan bid 'Au revoir' to the latest exchange group from Lycee Sacre-Coeur.
For 12 days in October, 36 students from Shawnigan's partner school in Angers, France enjoyed beautiful autumn weather on Vancouver Island.
The group was mostly accommodated in Shawnigan dorms, giving these French day students a taste of a Canadian boarding experience. During the mornings, the group would typically attend Shawnigan classes, while afternoons were saved for exploring local culture and landmarks.
They also spent a long weekend in Tofino, enjoying an authentic West Coast experience.
Shawnigan's next visit to Angers (in the Pays de la Loire region of western France) is set for March of 2019, with exact dates and tour information to be confirmed soon.
We acknowledge with respect the Coast Salish Peoples on whose traditional lands and waterways we live, learn and play. We are grateful for the opportunity to share in this beautiful region, and we aspire to healthy and respectful relationships with those who have lived on and cared for these lands for millennia.
Shawnigan Lake School is an independent co-educational boarding school for ages 13 –18 on Canada’s beautiful Pacific Coast. Our diverse, interdisciplinary and innovative programming helps shape the next generation of global leaders.
