Foreign Exchange
The college has taken part in a number of foreign exchange programmes involving schools in France and Austria. Many European students have also availed of the college, from as far away as Spain, France and Austria. Every year a selection of teachers and students head for the European ski-slopes during the holidays. The 2008 trip, when Neil Gordon led a troupe of skiiers to the United States, proved eventful, as the plane home experienced engine difficulties and had to return to Boston. The aborted flight was covered by the media.

Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or exchange:
“Man-in-seed, in seed-at-zero,
From the star-flanked fields of space,
Thunders on the foreign town
With a sand-bagged garrison....”

“I can exchange opinion with any neighbouring mind,
I have as healthy flesh and blood as any rhymer’s had,
But O! my Heart could bear no more when the upland caught the wind;
I ran, I ran, from my love’s side because my Heart went mad.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
