Thought For The Day – Wednesday 25^th March 2026

In the last few days, it has been our pleasure to welcome (bienvenue in French) staff and students from the prestigious “Institution Notre Dame”  (I.N.D.) in Chartres, near Paris, pictured above.

Their wonderful website is here: https://ind-chartres.fr/

Blue and Yellow.

Black and Gold. 

I.N.D. and T.B.S.H.S. together.

Also pictured above is the beautiful and historic city of Chartres, including the iconic and inspiring cathedral, a world heritage site.

This exchange continues a long-running association with this very prestigious and greatly respected French school, going back over twenty years.

So many generations have greatly benefited from this very fruitful partnership.

Such cultural appreciation, dialogue, and mutual respect is key The Good Life and The Good Society.

This is yet another fabulous opportunity provided by the Languages Department at T.B.S.H.S..

We should also not forget that exchanges are educational visits that are founded on the beautiful generosity and kindness of host families, students, and staff.

This, of course, enhances the depth of the cultural immersion, and experience, and the outstanding opportunities offered.

Exchanges are the very best of us.
