Year 9 German Penpals Make Return Visit
12 June 2025 | Share:
Last week we were thrilled to give ‘ein herzliches Willkommen’ to our Year 9 German pen pals from Helmholtz Gymnasium in Karlsruhe for their return visit to NHEHS!
As well as visiting the sights of London, our guests joined us for lessons on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings to give them a taste of the British school experience. Our German department also organised games after school and a lovely farewell lunch to round off their visit.
Our Year 9 students first met their ‘Brieffreunde‘ in person last summer when they travelled to Karlsruhe, having exchanged letters since autumn 2023.
It has been wonderful to see friendships grow across borders through language, laughter and shared experiences.
