For the last two weeks we've been very lucky to have a group of students from Thailand in our classrooms visiting New Zealand. They are still at school this week (in the first week of our students holiday) and leave later in the week to return to Thailand. All the students were wonderful in their time at our school and especially Bell and Tae who were based in Room 8. Our students were better for having met them and had the experience to be involved in cultural exchanges!

What a great learning opportunity. Is this something that happens often, hosting students from other countries? We have student exchange programs for high school students(13-18 year olds), but I don't remember hearing about a large group visiting any schools.
