Bravo to Madame Naomi Connolly from Paraparaumu College, who after 20 years, has very proudly set up a long-term exchange programme with a school in Avignon. She visited two of her students, Abi and Rhlyee, who spent 3 months there this summer. They hosted students in Term 3 last year and this year there are now six students from Paraparaumu College going over. Above is a photo of Abi and Rhylee by the famous Pont D'Avignon.
The annual pétanque competition between Kapiti College and Paraparaumu College brought excitement and camaraderie to the Kāpiti Pétanque Club.
Students from both schools immersed themselves in the traditional French game, mastering techniques and strategies to score points.
They even picked up some French phrases like “bien lancé” (well thrown) and “on a gagné” (we won), adding an authentic touch to the experience.
A highlight of the event was the presentation of a brand-new trophy to Paraparaumu College, dedicated to the late Graham Hooper, a former club president.
