Voyage aux Antipodes
More than two years ago we couldn't imagine travelling to New Zealand and establishing a long friendly relationship with AJHS students and teachers.

Paying our respects to New Zealand soldiers at Longueval
New Zealand and French students read poetry as a way of paying respect to the New Zealand soldiers who died in the Somme. Poems were read in Maori, French and the English language.
