Spanish Exchange 2025

What a fantastic time we had in Spain this June!  It is the third year in a row that we went to Tenerife to visit Nuryana, our partner school there, as part of our Spanish exchange programme. Our students had the wonderful opportunity to attend Spanish lessons, learn about school life in Spain and share unforgettable memories. 

We have 25 Bishop Luffa students living with their Spanish penpals families. This beautiful project has allowed our students to mature, develop their personality and experience unique moments that they will remember for many years to come. We are very proud of all our students and the way they behaved while we were abroad.   We have built a beautiful friendship with our Spanish friends that will allow us to offer more opportunities like this to our students in the future. 

While in Tenerife we have time to explore the Spanish school and see what Spanish lessons are like. We had a day trip to Siam Park, the biggest water park in Europe, where our students had plenty of time to practise their Spanish and get to know their Spanish friends better. We also visited "San Cristobal de La Laguna" (UNESCO World Heritage city), "Santa Cruz"  (capital city) and had a "chocolate con churros" in the Spanish market. On our last day we went to the volcano Teide and finished the day eating a "parrillada" in a typical Spanish restaurant.  We were very lucky that during our time in Tenerife we were able to watch the school's fabulous choir La Diva - their singing was so beautiful that it made us all cry with happiness. 

We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the host families that participated in this project. It was a pleasure to spend the week with all of your children and we, the teachers, will also remember this experience for many years to come. 

We took a lot of pictures and made a lovely video (please click on this link), we hope you all enjoy it!
