Curro Nelspruit will send seven Grade 11 learners as ambassadors of their school to Växjö Fria Gymnasium in Växjö, Sweden.

The annual exchange allows learners to live with host families, attend school in Sweden for a week, and enjoy the wonderful adventures abroad. As an added bonus, the group will enjoy a few days in Stockholm, touring and taking in the sights.

Curro would like to thank Eagle Distributors, who kindly sponsored backpacks and parkas that will keep the intrepid explorers comfortable on their journey.
