Kia ora kōtiro mā,

Please contact me if you would be keen to be a buddy for a visiting Japanese student on Monday, 3rd August.  I mainly need Year 10s, but also some Year 11-12 students are needed too.  You would meet your visitor / buddy at the end of Spell 1  and spend S2-4 with them, including morning tea.  Do consider this fantastic opportunity to meet potential international students and to represent our school in a positive way.

Ngā mihi,
