01/05/2007 : New Zealand Relations
Jacquie Johnson, from the Epsom Girl College of Auckland in New-Zealand came to visit us in February. She had wished to help us welcome the New Zealand teachers who are coming to spend 6 months in France. We hope that you can convince the New Zealand Education Minister that it would be an excellent opportunity for New Zealand French teachers to attend a training course at International House Nice. We look foward to welcoming many little Kiwis!In April, 20 students from Rangi Ruru Girls’ College in Christchurch, New-Zealand spent a week at the school before continuing their cultural trip in France.Thank you to Jo who accompanied this pleasant group. We really appreciated the haka!
