In September 2016, 7 Senior Pupils accompanied by 2 teachers from Carnoustie High School and Webster\u2019s High School (Angus) went to Comillas near Santander to take part in a week\u2019s work experience.\"international\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This project was led and organised by Mr Jos\u00e9 Herrera (linksintospanish.com) and Angus teachers Mme Florence Tanniou and Mrs Maureen McRae.<\/p>\n

The work experience placements included a gift shop, an estate agent, a gift and clothes shop, a pharmacy, a tourist office, a hotel, a radio station and a museum.<\/p>\n

\"international1\"<\/a>In the mornings, the pupils went to observe and contribute to the running of the places and in the afternoons, they were involved in a range of activities such as social interactions with pupils from other secondary schools or Spanish lessons.<\/p>\n

Once they overcame their initial apprehension, the pupils enjoyed a truly enriching experience both culturally and linguistically.\"international2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe trip was incredibly rewarding and worthwhile. My time working in Spain allowed me to improve my interpersonal skills and confidence by forcing me out of my comfort zone.\u00a0 My Spanish has also dramatically improved. I recommend the experience for those interested in culture and language\u201d<\/p>\n
