The Ursuline School - New Rochelle.  2017 Exchange

On Easter Saturday (15th April 2017) we had the pleasure of greeting the New Rochelle Exchange students.  The group arrived in Sydney earlier in the week before flying into Brisbane West Wellcamp Airport on Saturday.  The St Ursula's College families provided some fun experiences over the Easter weekend, taking the girls to visit the beaches, local farms and sights around Toowoomba.


The Principal Administration, Mrs Carol Killebrew and Head of Science Ms Robyn Summa enjoyed visiting the area and were keen to try an Aussie Flat White Coffee during their stay!


The TUS students enjoyed a day of classes at St Ursula's College with their host sisters before departing on Thursday.
