At the qathet School District (qSD) board meeting on December 20, Brooks Secondary School students and Germany exchange teacher sponsor Maranda Burnikell gave a short presentation to qSD trustees about their experience learning and living in a different country.
The students travelled and stayed with German families for three weeks this past summer and said they connected well with their hosts and that they were excited to see how people live in another part of the world. The students attended regular school classes and also went sightseeing.
In October 2023, secondary students from Germany travelled to the qathet region, where they experienced kayaking, curling, bowling and a tour of the Tla'amin Salmon Hatchery, along with attending classes at Brooks.
