Dear Parents and Guardians
We now have a French Marist sister school, the Lycée Sainte-Marie in Lyon. I have been working with the Languages coordinator there, and he has a group of 15 confirmed expressions of interest from families for their son or daughter to visit our College from Friday 19 July, departing on 26 July of next year, with a view to us visiting Lyon in January of 2026. The students would be in school for the first week of Term 3, with some lessons and various activities organised.
I am urgently seeking your support in this wonderful venture, and I am asking for confirmation from Marist Canberra families that they are willing to host a French student in their home. It appears that the vast majority of the group are in fact girls!
Please could you reply urgently to me at katelofthouse@mcc.act.edu.au confirming that you can host a boy or a girl for the period indicated and if so, how many students could you accommodate?
In anticipation of your support.
Kate Lofthouse
Head of Languages
