ORANJESTAD- A group of students from the Gwendoline van Putten school on St. Eustatius on Friday left the island for a week-long visit in the Netherlands. 

The primary aim of the trip is to provide the students with a valuable opportunity to orient themselves, prepare for potentials study programmes and to visit post-secondary institutions.

Understanding

Throughout the week, the students, who are accompanied by several teachers, will be fully immersed in the Dutch culture, gaining first-hand experience and understanding of what it is like to live in the Netherlands.
