Student Exchanges at McKinnon SC

The beginnings

In 2001 our German Exchange with the Alfred Wegener Schule in the state of Hessen (central Germany) began - the German partners came here first and our McKinnon students made the return journey to Hessen later, under the supervision of Mr Nutting and a teacher from Mill Park SC.

In the same year a group of McKinnon SC students, under the supervision of Ms Antal, Mrs Taylor, Ms Rendell and Mr Barry, went on a study trip to New Caledonia, though this was not an exchange of students as such. Further trips to New Caledonia have taken place since then.

In 2006 our French Exchange with the Centre International de Valbonne in the south-east of France began - the McKinnon group travelled to France under the supervision of Ms Antal and a teacher from Elwood College.
