DUNOON
Pupils from Dunoon Grammar School attended an international reception at the Scottish Parliament on Thursday June 21, to mark the 30th anniversary of an exchange programme with a German school.
The reception was sponsored by Maree Todd, minister of childcare and early years, and was arranged to honour the long-running exchange with the Hardenberg Gymnasium school in the Bavarian city of Fürth. For 30 years, pupils from Dunoon have spent time in Fürth to learn first-hand the culture and way of life in the German city. In return, Hardenberg pupils visit Dunoon and experience all that Cowal and Argyll have to oTher. It’s one of the longest-running exchange programmes of its kind and also allows the pupils to learn new language skills.
