LCC grade 9 student Julien Miller set out on January 13th on a two month student exchange with Saint Stithians Boys’ College in South Africa.

Here are his first impressions of his student exchange experience:

Going on this exchange is possibly the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m simply loving it here. I could really get used to not having to wear a coat and boots every time I leave the house. However, yesterday we had a massive thunderstorm and it even began to hail. Although, I’ve seen my fair share of storms, I had never seen a storm like this one. I was surprised when the family I’m staying with told me that these storms are quite common for summers in Johannesburg.

Everything at school has been terrific. The teachers are very nice, and the workload hasn’t been too much of a problem as I discovered that I am ahead of the curriculum here. As well, there is a great selection of sports to play. I am currently deciding whether to join the water polo or cricket team. –Julien Miller ’12
