The exchange with three cities abroad is back after a five-year break.
Sixty students from Port Aurel’s three sister cities arrived this week for a term at local schools, the first exchange in five years.
They will live with host families and join lessons, sports teams and a project on the new harbour. Sixty local students will make the return trip in the spring.
Host families are still needed for the spring term. The council’s schools office has details.
About 120 researchers will work at the centre, which opens its doors to the public next month.
More than 300 people have borrowed a laptop since the scheme started in the spring.
Sandbags and pumps are being moved to towns along the coast.
Some farms are switching to crops that ripen faster or cope better with heat.
