Day 4 Today we travelled to the rural township of Mont Dore which was a 45 minute bus trip south of Nouméa.Collège de Plum is where our students met their host billets for the first time and experienced total immersion in to the French culture. Students were nervous and excited as their billeting families have a varying range of english speaking abilities.
The school has 600 students enrolled and caters for students from grade 6-9 with a good mix of Kanak and European backgrounds and many students coming from the nearby French military base.
Students were welcomed by the Princial and Senior staff before joining classes with their host billets. Lunch experience at Collège de Plum was very novel for our students as the school provided lunch in the school canteen which is very different from lunch time at Grammar as you can see by the attached pictures.
At the end of a long tiring day our students headed home to their host families and we are looking forward to sharing some stories on Tuesday afternoon.
