Wellington Trip (Thursday)

Today we all got the train into Wellington and spent the day their with our buddies.











 The morning was a Treasure Hunt, where students had to find and photograph some famous sites around Wellington. 











Then we met around midday and got the cable car up the hill to enjoy the view. 







In the afternoon, students had free time with their buddies to look around Wellington, try some local food, and of course to do some shopping!

Sayonara Party (Friday)

 Today was our last full day at Paraparaumu College, with the Farewell Party in the evening.  Before that we had our last ESOL class with Mr Harris in the morning. The students all tried making a mini pavlova. Then in the evening we had the Sayonara Party. First we all had some delicious fish’n chips for dinner, then the Tosa students all got on stage and danced the Soran-Bushi.  After that, the students did some calligraphy for their host families and buddies. Finally, each Tosa student got up on stage and gave a farewell speech. It was sad to say goodbye, and there were many tears, but everyone was able to do a great job!
