Kinross Wolaroi Exchange Programme

Thomas House boarding hostel encourages its students to participate in international exchanges, providing a means of gaining first–hand insight into other cultures in order to develop tolerance, understanding and respect for different ways of life, and wider perspective and social experiences.

Every year, two students from Year 10 at Thomas House are selected for the exchange with Kinross Wolaroi School in Orange, Australia. Callum Bowmar and Lucas Wood are the fortunate young men to be selected for 2017 and will travel to Australia on 23 July, returning to New Zealand on 21 September. 

Stirling Taylor and Jack Hetherington from Kinross will have the opportunity to experience kiwi hospitality at Thomas House over the same period of time. 

The only expenses involved for the families are the airfares and any activities they may undertake while in their respective schools. 

This is an amazing opportunity for these students to experience boarding school life in Australia and New Zealand. Many have returned from these exchanges to find that this had been a real highlight of their time in boarding.

We are grateful for the support of Thomas House families and the wonderful hospitality extended to the visiting boys.
