St Aidan’s were recently given a fantastic opportunity to host for a group of 50 students and a few teachers visiting Scotland from Poland. Liceum Ogólnokształcące nr VII im. Krzysztofa Kamila Baczyńskiego is a secondary school from Wrocław.
The students were warmly welcomed by senior staff, the school captains and our own Polish students representing St Aidan’s. Upon arrival, the visitors received a traditional performance of the bagpipes by Kerr Smillie.
Once they were officially welcomed by Mrs Connelly, both St Aidan’s and our Polish visitors had prepared presentations about the school and the culture in both countries . Afterwards they were given a tour around the school by our own polish students.
Before leaving, they stayed for an early lunch where they tried a classic roll and sausage and were later given another traditional performance by Highland Dancers Alicia Taylor and Niamh Donnelly.
One of the Polish students visiting , Matthew Chris Przyłup commented that “meeting the people here was really exciting because we’re meeting another culture, this experience has been amazing opportunity for us”.
