Visitors to Surrey Heath

Sucy en Brie visits Surrey Heath

A secondary school group from College du Fort, Sucy en Brie, visited the Borough of Surrey Heath in March 2006, on an exchange visit to Collingwood College.

The teenagers and teachers were placed with host families organised by Collingwood College.

They had a hectic schedule visiting various places in the South East:

• Portsmouth (HMS Victory and Naval Museum)
• Eton college and Windsor Castle
• London : Tower of London, Houses of Parliament, Whitehall with the Changing of the Guard at Horseguard Parade, St James's Park, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square (a short visit round the National Gallery), Piccadilly Circus and a shopping trip to Oxford Street.

The French group visited the 2005-2006 Mayor of Surrey Heath, Cllr Stevenson and was given a tour of the Council Chamber at Surrey Heath Borough Council, Camberley.

Murielle Bogaert, who teaches at College du Fort, said, "We are very happy to have had the chance to be here to enjoy the British culture. The host families and Collingwood College have been most hospitable. Our students have had a brilliant time"
