Ready for a French connection?

Department of Education-approved Southern Cross Cultural Exchange (SCCE) wants to provide you with the chance for a European cultural experience right in your own home, without the cost of a plane ticket.
From mid-May, French 15, 16 and 17-year-olds are coming here to appreciate our part of the world. Where better to start than in our own backyards?
Did you know that France is the most visited country in the world? That the French are absolutely curious about Australia, too?
If you’re curious about French culture, from Napoleon Bonaparte to Michelin-star chefs, you might like to take this invaluable opportunity to make a French friend this year and show him or her your town and what you do.
Why not seize this chance for you and your family to be a volunteer host family to an English-speaking, French high school exchange student who would like to come here for a short term from mid-May to experience your way of life and share his or her French culture with you?
SCCE looks after the exchange student’s school enrolment, their insurance and other arrangements. Please phone 1800 500 501 or email scceaust@scce.com.au to indicate your interest or jump on to their website scce.com.au
