Request for families to billet French students in July 2025

Request for families to billet French students in July 2025

Dear Parents and Guardians

We now have a French Marist sister school, the LycĂ©e 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

Since 1968, Marist Canberra has been a part of and had its footprints on the land of the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples. As a College, we acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of the land on which we stand. We pay our respects to them and for their care of the land. May we walk gently and respectfully upon the land. We are, as Marists, an inclusive and welcoming community. We acknowledge that all are created in the image of our loving God and called to live our lives glorifying the Lord. People of all faiths, genders, sexualities, and cultures are therefore welcome and respected equally in the Marist Catholic community.
