Day 8 - Today was our last day of school at College de Plum in Mont Dore. Our students were excited about getting together with their fellow Grammar travellers and seeing some of their new school friends for the last time. While the students seems refreshed and excited, Georgie and myself are a litte exhausted and ready for some R and R!!!!!. Our students accompanied their billets to their usual classroom lessons in the morning before a lunch of hot chips, a meat pattie and a cornetto ice cream.Before our meal had time to settle, we were ushered off to the sports complex for the international sporting rematch where again national pride was at stake.
Basketball was the chosen sport today but little did they realise the ability of Jackson Carter, Steph Bragg, and Alex Knesl. After a slow start the Grammar students had to come from behind to win another close but hard fought game. A highlight of the game was a 3 point shot to seal the win from the ever reliable Steph.
The rest of the afternoon was taken up with Madame Richardson assisting students in the school library to write thank you notes, showing them the Blog and all the photographs taken so far.
As their host students finished school today (any where from 2pm -4pm) our students said goodbye to College de Plum for the final time and welcomed the weekend where they would be spending time with their New Caledonian families. We are looking forward to hearing about the students actitivies and sightseeing over their last couple of days in New Caledonia.
