It is with great sadness that we say farewell to our friends and hosts from the Heritage School. Today has been a sad day filled with goodbyes but also with many plans for the future.
We spent the day at the school enjoying some yoga as well as a performance by internationally renowned, Swiss eurythmy performers. It's hard to explain exactly what this was except to say that it was a kind of dance where movements were linked to the sounds of words. It was very impressive and it the kind of thing that the Heritage School regularly invites into school to enrich the students' curriculum.
Whitecross students gave their final presentation on sustainability - they were brilliant as usual. Then it was time for presentations and farewells.
This exchange programme has been going for over seven years. It has become self sustaining as a result of the hard work and commitment of teachers, families and students who live thousands of miles away from each other on opposite sides of the world. This is remarkable. As the exchange grows and evolves a generation of students from both Whitecross and the Heritage have become better global citizens. We look forward to welcoming our friends from Kolkata back to the UK in October.
The final thank you today must go to our host families without whom this exchange would not be possible. Their care and open friendship should be an inspiration to us all. Thank you.
