At the beginning of this year our school welcomed 15 students from Korea. They were placed with local home stay families who cared for them and showed them a little piece of New Zealand. The students attended school each day, enjoying time with their new Kiwi friends in their buddy classes, had English lessons in ESOL, learned how to make poi with Room1, made ANZAC biscuits after learning about the meaning of ANZAC Day and visited Auckland City, Rotorua and some beaches. On their last day at school the students were presented with a certificate and gift then went 10 pin bowling with their buddies. In March, 12 students from Thailand stayed with us and had a similar experience. We were lucky enough to have the girls put on a traditional Thai dance performance. This was followed by a modern dance. In July we welcomed students from Korea, China, Thailand and Taiwan.Then in September we again hosted seven students from Taiwan. These students were from Singuang Elementary School, which has a role of just 34 students. The students were in NZ as part of the Tainan City-NZ cultural Exchange Delegation.
