A group of Italian students have left the College, after completing another year's exchange. While here they enjoyed many cultural experiences at Somerset, on the Gold Coast and around the country.
L’8 luglio, 36 studenti italiani (con età tra i 16 ed i 18 anni) ed i loro accompagnatori (Isabella Traverso e Carlo Ghio) sono arrivati per passare tre settimane con famiglie del Collegio Somerset. Tutti gli studenti sono di Genova, e frequentano la scuola “il Liceo Scientifico Statale Luigi Lanfranconi”. Hanno dato ospitalità per tre settimane ad un gruppo di studenti del Collegio Somerset in dicembre, ed i ragazzi italiani sono stati qui per completare lo scambio. Mentre sono stati qui, i ragazzi italiani sono stati in famiglie di studenti dell’undicesima e della dodicesima. Hanno seguito un corso di lingua inglese e di cultura australiana e hanno passato qualche ora in classe con i loro compagni. Hanno fatto anche parecchie gite – a Sea World, Brisbane, Byron Bay, Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary e Springbrook, ed hanno fatto anche una lezione di surf. Siamo stati lieti di ricevere il gruppo qui e speriamo che tutti abbiano passato un periodo bellissimo da noi. Questa è l’ottava volta che abbiamo organizzato uno scambio con “Lanfranconi”, e speriamo di organizzare oltre scambi nel futuro. Arrivederci, amici italiani!
On 8 July, 36 Italian students (between 16 and 18 years of age) and their accompanying teachers (Isabella Traverso and Carlo Ghio) arrived to spend three weeks with Somerset College families. All of the students are from Genoa, and attend the school “Scientific Liceo Luigi Lanfranconi”. They hosted a group of Somerset College students in December for three weeks, and the Italian students were here to complete the exchange.
While they were here, the Italian students stayed with the families of our Year 11 and 12 students. During their stay, they completed a course in English language and Australian culture and spent some time in class with their hosts. They participated in several day trips – to Sea World, Brisbane, Byron Bay, Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary and Springbrook, and they also had surfing lessons. We were delighted to welcome the group here and we hope that everyone had a wonderful time with us.
This is the eighth time that we have organised an exchange with “Lanfranconi” and we hope to organise further exchanges in the future. Farewell, Italian friends!
