Students from North’s exchange trip to Australia returned Saturday night. A week-long exchange, a group of students from Theatre Ink, any music groups, or visual or fine arts classes explored the city of Melbourne and took classes at a local school. According to sophomore Angela Buras, the trip was a rewarding experience. “It was great making connections with a family and new people I wouldn’t have otherwise met,” said Buras. “The city and the school were beautiful, and being an art student, the trip was especially cool because of all the amazing artwork and graffiti we saw around the city.”
