Submitted by Japan Exchange on Wed, 04/08/2010 - 11:06am

On Monday our students that are travelling to Japan in September had there first trip together, we went down to Wellington airport to pick up our guests from Shijonawate Junior High School.  This year there are fifteen students staying with us for nearly 2 weeks.  There are also two teachers with the group.  As well as the visiting group, this year the CEO of Shijonawate Gakuen, Mr Kawasaki,  Kyoshi Horii, who is the teacher who is behind the exchange in Japan, and Megumi Haraguchi have also travelled to visit us for three days before they head back to Japan.  They are enjoying seeing how the students from Japan spend some of there time with us. 

This week the students have already been to the Taratahi Training Farm and today they are off to Mt Bruce.  The two weeks they are here are going to fly by I am sure.

Don't forget that next Wednesday is the school social with our visitors and on Thursday is the Sayoonara evening for us to farewell the group before they leave on Friday.
