Both XL Groups in 3rd year at Oban High School have recently worked together in planning and organising a Coffee Morning for the welcoming of our American visitors. As this is the 20th year of the Oban/Laurinburg exchange they wanted to make it special. The group worked together in ensuring that the Americans first impression of Oban High School was as warm and friendly as possible.
