From Our Own Correspondent NOUMEA, March 1 RECENTLY a party of five girls, aged 17 and 18, from the Melbourne Church of England Girls Grammar School, visited Noumea and stayed with French families. It is expected that next year a similar number of new Caledonian girls will visit Melbourne. This follows last year’s visit to Sydney of a party of 15 Caledonian schoolchildren. It is also re called that a New Caledonian, Roger Benebig, is at present studying at a Mel bourne technical school at the invitation of the Australian Government. In return, the New Caledonian General Council is offering facilities for an Australian student to live and study at the College de la Perouse, Noumea.
