By Izam S. Ya'akub

Bandar Seri Begawan - Four lucky students from Paduka Seri Begawan Sultan Science College yesterday left for France, as part of a delegation embarking on a two-week educational tour of the country.

Mohd Haziq Hj Mohd Don, Ak Mohd Haziqul Hafly Pg Hj Harun, Raihana Mohammad and Anis Bazilah Hj Ajamain were accompanied by their teacher, Cikgu Rokiah Hj Asmakhan.

It is the, first time such a trip has been organised for students from the Science College since French had been taught in the Science College in 1999.

The trip will provide the students with an eventful opportunity to experience not only the French language but also the countryside, tradition and Gallic culture.

Present to wish the students farewell at the airport and to present a mock ticket to Cikgu Rokiah was Mr. Philippe Bourlis of Total (operating in Brunei as Total E&P Borneo BV and Total E&P Deep Offshore Borneo BV).

Also contributing to the educational tour was PGGMB, who had also sponsored tickets for members of the travelling delegation.

Speaking to the Borneo Bulletin before their departure, the students agreed in unison that the one aspect of the trip that can not come soon enough for them is the trip to Euro Disney, which will take place towards the end of their tour.

The students also remarked on how they are looking forward to Besangon Citadel.

Apart from Paris, Champs Elysees, Eiffel Tower and other famous sites, the students will also be visiting Strasbourg and Besangon, where the Besangon Citadel is located. A military architecture masterpiece built by Vauban under Louis XIV in 1674.  -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin
