Unforgettable Friday

Image
Today was our last day at Paraparumu College, and it was full of joyful, emotional moments!  First, we had our last English class with Debbie. She has been so kind, and these classes have given everyone a chance to practice their English in a comfortable environment! Thank you, Debbie!  In the evening, it was time for the final party with host families and buddies from school! Students prepared food with their families, and we all ate delicious meals! Local fish and chips were provided by school! Thank you!  Tosa students added the entertainment with singing, dancing, and a magnificent calligraphy performance!  Finally, each Tosa student gave a short speech. They talked about how they overcame difficulties, had new experiences, but mostly about how kind and welcoming the host families have been. There was laughter, there were tears, and many wonderful memories! Thank you, Paraparaumu College!

School Life in New Zealand

Sometimes communication was difficult, and some of the culture shocks were challenging, but everyone is staying positive and trying hard! The teachers and the host families have all said that Tosa students are kind, friendly and polite!  And at the end of the day, there was even some time to practice dancing in the afternoon sunshine!

They spent the whole day in teams doing treasure hunts, buying and eating lunch, and doing lots and lots of shopping. The train carriage on the way home was full of tired, satisfied students with heavy bags full of gifts for friends, family and of course for themselves!
