Friday, April 9th, 2010

On 1st April 2001 a group of students from two sports colleges came to Watershed for a special RELAYS screening of Invictus.

19 boys and 6 girls – in ‘troisieme’, equivalent to Year 10, came from Collège Victor Louis in Talence just outside Bordeaux with 3 of their teachers.

The French students were accompanied by a mixed group of Year 10s from their partner  school in Bristol, Ashton Park.

The visit was arranged by Debbie Richards, Director of the Académie Aquitaine www.academieaquitaine.co.uk as part of an exchange programme to reinforce links between the two colleges.
