Weed treatment in Teulada Foreign exchange opportunities

A TOTAL of 52 French secondary students have arrived in Benidorm under a new Erasmus project. The fourth-year second students will spend a week in Benidorm and will attend classes at the Bernat de Sarrià Secondary School while staying in the homes of local families.

During a presentation in the Assembly Hall of the school, the mayor welcomed everyone and wished them “the best of experiences” while encouraging them to “enjoy the town during the days that they are here.” The event was also an opportunity for the French students to introduce themselves to their new classmates.

The IES Bernat de Sarrià has been awarded an Erasmus KA 120 accreditation under a new system that will facilitate the application for subsidies by potential beneficiaries within the framework of the new programme for the period 2021-2027, which will allow students from the centre to travel abroad in the coming years. The students from Bernat de Sarrià will travel to France next May.

If you believe your dog has been in contact with weedkiller, wash the belly and leg areas and ask your vet.

‘‘A Chain is Only as Strong as Its Weakest Link’’

This means that a group or organisation can only be as successful as its least successful or powerful person. The first form of this proverb appeared in Thomas Reid’s ‘Essays on the Intellectual Powers of Man’, which was published in 1786.

Old not stupid

THE man behind the ‘I’m old, not stupid’ campaign will be visiting Javea to talk about his campaign to demand that banks give senior customers who find it hard to deal with new technologies the personal attention they need. The councillor for Social Services and Senior Services in Javea has scheduled a talk by Valencian activist Carlos San Juan de Laorden on Friday, March 3 in the Duanes Library.
