Three exchange students from France who came to our school through the Franco-Japanese High School Student Network "Colibri" have completed their three-week exchange program and returned home.

At the beginning of their stay, some students expressed concerns about whether they would be able to build close friendships in just three weeks. However, by the final day, everyone was saying, "Three weeks was too short!" and "I don't want to leave!" All three exchange pairs shared tearful goodbyes.

This exchange marks the beginning of lasting friendships. Looking forward to reuniting in France during the exchange program in March, we hope that these six students will continue to strengthen their bonds and build friendships that will last a lifetime.

We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the host families, classmates, and teachers who warmly welcomed and supported the exchange students throughout their stay.
