French Trip

From this year, pupils in Years 7 and 8 will be going on a mini trip to France, visiting a boulangerie, snail farm, chocolate workshop and the market of Boulogne.

The German Exchange

Lytham St Annes is twinned with the town of Werne in Northwest Germany.  The very first exchange visit between LSA Technology and Performing Arts College, or Lytham St Annes High as it was known then, and our partner school Gymnasium St Christophorus in Werne took place in 1996.  This very successful link has created many lasting memories and friendships over the years.

The 2013 exchange started in June with 31 students and 2 teachers from our partner school arriving in Lytham St Annes for 8 days.  As part of the exchange our English students accompanied their German partners on trips to the Lake District and Blackpool Tower.  Our visitors also had trips to the Lancashire Museum in Preston, the Docks and Cathedral in Liverpool and a tour of St Annes.  The focus for this year’s exchange was collaboration with the host students and their visitors working together on an art project to create a logo for the exchange.  Competition on the sports field was fierce as the German students were introduced to the game of rounders.  The old rivalry between England and Germany was reignited on the football pitch with England victorious again!

Our students depart for Germany on July 4th.  Trips to Cologne, Munster, the Borussia Dortmund Stadium and Movieworld are on the itinerary.  Sporting rivalry will no doubt be renewed on the football pitch with Germany sure to be out for revenge!  Our students with also be accompanying their partners to lessons.  We look forward to hearing all the details on their return.
