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!
