Purpose of the Exchange Trip

The purpose of this educational exchange trip is to learn about different places in Canada through a cultural exchange. Students do this by visiting another school community and by hosting the other school in return. Last week, CHSS students visited GMCS in Grand Manan. This week the GMCS students are visiting the North Coast.
