International Outdoor Education

Tip Winiata —

This has been a busy year for the 12 Outdoor International option line as usual it begins with tears, anxiety, worry and excitement with new students arriving while the longer stay students having the added responsibility of transitioning the new arrivals by alleviating some of these emotions. 

This has become the normal practice and cycle of our reciprocal relationships. Quite fittingly it ends relatively the same, the tears are of departure and leaving new friends and family behind, the anxiety about having fantastic adventures that no one else around can appreciate when they return to normal life, and the worry of settling back into a routine quite different to that of the southern hemisphere lifestyle. However over the time spent at Logan Park whether that is long or short friendships are forged and become long lasting.

A great year.
