The Christchurch Campus has had a great start to 2021 with a busy schedule of activities and fun.

Term 1 2021 the Christchurch Residential Campus welcomed a new student Abodi Loulou. Abodi was originally from Syria and our students have been learning about his culture since he joined us. Jayden has been helping Abodi fit in and learn about van Asch house. Abodi loves to make pizza. Steve, our Youth worker has been teaching the students how to make fresh pizza bases. 

This term the residential students entered a team in the local Touch Rugby Tournament. All of the students enjoy playing, they grew in confidence and ability with every game. At the end of the season, the Most Improved Players were Jayden Edwards and Libby Francis. Jayden also won the Sportsmanship Award. 

February is a busy month for birthdays in the Residences with all four boys celebrating. Ryan and Thomas our twins turned 19 this year. 

This term some of the activities we have enjoyed include: going to the movies, visit the museum and botanical gardens, visiting the 10 Year Earthquake Memorial site and a boat trip to explore Quail Island. 

We are planning for Term 2 already. We are going to enter a team in a local Indoor Netball competition and have a trip planned to the Hororata Night Glow Hot Air Balloon Festival in May.
