Our Kiwi Visitors have arrived!

Filed Under (Uncategorized) by Pam Thompson on 27-10-2009 and tagged ,

Today we welcomed 24 students, 3 staff and 2 Board members from South Hornby School in Christchurch. They are here as part of a choir exchange program between our 2 schools. We take turns in visiting each others’ schools for a week in Term 4 each year. Students stay with host families and spend time in class with their hosts, performing at other schools, and visiting local tourist spots.

Our Year 6/7 students who are in our NZ Performance Choir have been looking forward to this visit for a very long time. Tomorrow we will hear them perform separately and jointly. AS I’m new to the school this year I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing/hearing the NZ choir before, so tomorrow should be a real treat!

    Hi Room 13,
    I was in the staffroom after lunch on Tuesday and I could hear the choirs practising. They sounded great but when they performed together on Wednesday they sounded fantastic. Well done everyone, you should be very proud. I’m sure the NZ visit will be a highlight for everyone concerned.

    What an exciting experience! I can hear the chatter and excitement and there is nothing like face to face experience. Will you record some of the singing and will you have the chance to return the visit and go to Christchurch?
    Thanks for commenting on my post. I can remember when I first started blogging 2 1/2 years ago. I didnt have a clue what I was doing or where it was going, only that I enjoyed it. It has taken me on a long and exciting journey and I am glad that we can all share in a similar journey.
    Enjoy your times together with the choir and I am sure that you have ‘lifted the roof’.

    I love your post about the exchange students. I think it’s so cool to have kids from around the world come to your school. Also going to other schools would be so much fun!
