DT Dutch Exchange
On Monday to Wednesday this week, the DT Dept were hosting students and staff from a Dutch school in Rotterdam. This has been part of a joint venture that has been running for the last 12 months. We have been working collaboratively in cross country teams to develop a product for a global client, Arcadis. It has been, and continues to be, a fantastic opportunity for our Chapter 12 students, and there will be a reciprocal visit in May to the Netherlands.
It has been an extremely successful trip and we have all benefitted from it. There have been so many highlights, but in addition to the visits made and joint design challenge, it has been particularly encouraging to witness a number of our quieter, less confident students, developing and engaging in feedback, conversations and during the meal in the city centre on Tuesday. A HUGE congratulations to all of the Ch12 DT students for their participation, willingness to 'get stuck in', friendliness, time and genuine care for our visitors. They were a real credit to our school. Congratulations!
