“Goodbye Haru”, Tonight we say “Hooroo to Haru”, as she concludes her 12 month exchange with us and heads hone, taking back a wealth of memories, new experiences and friends. Haru has been fabulous ambassador for Youth Exchange, always willing to participate and have a go, as well as sharing her culture with us. She was presented with a koala, with Rotary wheel, and a Yea Tshirt.
Guest Speaker - Haru. Our exchange student's final meeting
Haru prepared a comprehensive powerpoint presentation, “My Australian Life” with highlights of her exchange trips to Airlie Beach and Central Australia, along with fun activities with her host families and her favourite Aussie foods! Defi-nitely not vegemite, but plenty of pavlova, parmas, lamingtons and pizza of course!
Haru experienced the Australian Open, native animals, Phillip Island Penguin Parade, as well as Rotary Conference and exchange weekends.
She has made many friends, both Australian and International.
