Meet the Schools 2013

Hamburg, the 20th of April 2013

 

Slowly the Unilever House in Hamburg filled. With directors from New Zealand schools, members from my agency, Hausch & Partner, and of course us Returnees, the ones with the yellow shirts.

We attended the fair to tell interested students and their parents about what a stay in NZ or Australia can be like and present the different areas and schools.

Mr Mitchell from Burnside greeted me with a hug. It was so nice to see him again, to be able to talk English with people and here the lovely Kiwi-accent.

Together with him and Lennart (who was at Burnside the year before) we had nice conversations with interested families about NZ, Christchurch, Burnside High, the Music Programme, host families, Outdoor Education and much more, switching languages all the time.

It was quite fun, but after our lunch break there were decidedly less people coming. But even the TV was there filming us !

After 6 hours the fair closed, my mum picked me up and we had to hurry to catch our train back (it took about 4 hours to get to Duisburg).

Well, actually I went to see Ciara afterwards who was staying with her German grandma in Bielefeld. So it was an exciting day followed by a very exciting weekend.
