Our General English programme has also been busy this year, with long and short term students<br />
from Brazil, Chile, Italy, Japan, Korea and Germany. Students ranged in age from ten to sixty years<br />
and as well as English lessons have enjoyed activities ranging from snowboarding, hiking, visits to<br />
local attractions, horse riding, swimming and cooking with tutor Linda Pierce, assisted at times by<br />
tutors Megan Collins and Julie Mulholland. The Korean Ski Team came back again in term three for<br />
evening classes combined with their ski training along with top ranking Italian skier Kristain Ghedina.<br />
We also hosted Reitaku Junior High School who returned for the third year running for a short<br />
programme organized by Ashlea King. The students had a busy schedule of outdoor activities<br />
including kayaking, horse riding, rockclimbing and camping at Glendhu Bay, but still had time to<br />
enjoy being with their Wanaka host family and activities with the local students.<br />
We’d like to take this opportunity to give a BIG thank you to all those families who have provided<br />
our students with a home away from home this year. It makes all the difference knowing that they<br />
are being so well looked after and having a great Kiwi experience. We appreciate your efforts and<br />
support.<br />
