Marie LeBreton our exchange student gave her final presentation to the club last Tuesday.  Supporting her were friends and her host families over the past year. The Meadowcrofts, Orchards, Burtons and The Burridges. Marie gave us a run down of her time and the activities during her action-packed year in New Zealand. Although homesick when she arrived she decided to get stuck in, get to know New Zealand and enjoy herself. With the assistances of her host families and other members o=of the Newmarket Rotary club, she is managed to visit more places in new Zealand in one year than many manage in a life-time. She enjoyed her time at Epsom Girls Grammar. Althou gh coming from the French education system she found at first a bit different. She had to wear uniform! While having a limited command of the New Zealand version of the Engllish language was a bit difficult at the start Marie now has a command of the vernacular and is now fully conversant. She has really enjoyed being a part of the Rotary club of Newmarket. She met numerous exchange students and has now friends all over the world. She organised a quiz night with rotary exchange students which raised $5,000.00 for ERKS. We wish Marie well for her future and hope to see her back here again one day.  |
