Tasmanian Exchange Oct 21-27

As is usual at this time of year Oct 21-28 four students from Campbell Town High School ( from a rural communtity of about 800 in Central Tasmania) will visit Melbourne in an exchange with four students from our local Hawthorn Secondary College.   The Hawthorn students will visit Tasmania the following week.

As one who has been involved with hosting like students in the past couple of years I can report that it's a very refreshing experience to meet them and observe their outlook and expectations for life.   The four together with their Hawthorn Secondary College host teacher Craig McPherson will be at our lunch meeting on the Tuesday October 23. 

This year there are four young ladies and I have included a short CV which they have each provided.

My name is Nicole Daley but people call me Nikki. I am 15, I go to Campbell Town District High School and I live in Campbell Town itself.  My favourite subjects at school would be English, Science, Sport and Society and History. I’m interested in Sport especially Netball.  I love hanging out with my friends and family and I’m also interested in Hairdressing and Childcare.  My plans for next year are to attend Launceston College and do further study, possibly in childcare.

My name is Kaycee Burns, I am currently 16 and go to Campbell Town District High School.  I live 30 minutes out of Campbell Town in a town called Avoca.  I think the best subjects in school are Numeracy and Sport.  I love to play sport, it is one of main things I like do, especially Netball.  Next year I am going to go on to do year 11 at Launceston College, hopefully completing certificate two in hospitality.   I hope to one day have a career in hospitality.

Hey, I’m Laura (King Grey), and I’m in grade 10 at CTDHS. I’m 15 (my birthday’s in December), I have two brothers and a sister, and my favourite colour is blue. I have two jobs, I work at the local supermarket (yep, I’m a checkout chick) and I also work Saturdays at an amazing lolly-shop (I love chocolate!).  My favourite subjects are Literacy (I love reading) and Science. Maths is easily my least favourite subject. I also love Art, and enjoy sketching and drawing a lot.
 
I play the piano (sort of) and love watching crime shows and reading murder mysteries/crime novels. I also like sport and enjoy running, swimming, and I used to do a lot of dancing. Next year, I’m going to college to do a variety of subjects. I’m not really sure where I want to go after college, but I think I will eventually end up with a career in Science.   I love biology/pathology/psychology, and find the human body and brain amazing.   I’ve only been to Melbourne once before! :)

Oh to be young.  

Hawthorn Secondary College (Craig McPherson)  and our club (David Owen 0405 382 187) will be jointly showing these girls the large city character of Melbourne with visits to museums, shopping centres etc during the week (mostly in the afternoons).       

Please see me (David Owen) if you are able and interested to help as a guide--a car would probably be required as would be a Working with Children certificate.
