Home time

On Friday we left to come home. All of us were different - we had changed. We had been fortunate enough to share these experiences together and everyone seemed to be closer. It was great - the conversations in the Red Van on the way back had changed too. Everyone was talking about things we had done on the trip and about how they couldn't wait to give their gifts to their whanau. As tiring as it was for us as staff, Koka Ritihia and I both agreed that it was awesome to see the joy on the kids faces and the feeling of togetherness. I wouldn't hesitate to put my hand up to go on another school trip, wherever it may be. It may not be next year but whenever it is, I'm keen!
