Homework : The Comenius Project

Some second year pupils are involved in a link with a French school in Ozoir la Ferrière, south east of Paris.  The school is called Campus Sainte Thérèse and letters and photos have been exchanged.  We hope to meet them at some point in the next year.

Some pupils in third year German have also started a link with pupils in Albert Einstein Gymnasium in Bochum in Germany

pupils at the International Club

The International E link club is held every Wednesday lunchtime in room 211. It's aim is to get in touch with as many foreign schools as possible and learn a little about them and their culture. Contact has already been made with schools in Denmark, Spain and Sweden. A link will also be set up with a school in Bulgaria after the summer.

As of session 2006 / 2007 all S1 pupils will arrive in Bo'ness Academy having made their choice of language (French / German) at the end of their Primary 7 year.
