Well, it's been ten days since we returned, and it was straight back to school (for some, anyway). It was a really good experience to live in another culture, where English was not the first language, and where the way of life was different. We were told by the Principal that we would feel homesick (and some did), that we would come up against challenges and obstacles (which we all did), and that we would grow and mature as individuals (which we did). We've made some new friends, learnt a lot about ourselves and others, and would be keen to repeat parts of it again. That would mean, of course, more scratchy boards, more barbeques, more begging for raffle prizes, etc.
We are grateful to our parents and friends who supported us over these last ten months or so, to the Principal and Board of Trustees who allowed us the opportunity to do the trip, and we thank all our fellow travellers for their friendship and companionship.
Au revoir, tout le monde.
