International Exchange Students

"At this point, I must thank you so much for the days we spent with you under the Odyssey's banner. Everything you did for us was excellent and the students derived so much from the activities.

We all enjoyed meeting you, loved being with you and enjoyed working with you. I understand how groups can be and I am gratified that you found our group pleasant to work with. We thought you were so well organised, obliging and patient and your lessons with the girls were excellent. Thank you for taking us over the Tongariro Crossing - I never imagined it went up so high. Danielle and Andrew were also excellent guides. I hope we will bring another group in two years time and we will certainly organise whatever we can with you."

Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students

Your school has to sign The Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students . This is very clear about where, how and with whom secondary students can travel away from their home-stay families.

Learning Journeys has its own, very fussy Health and Safety plans. Our Qualmark status guarantees that and so does the fact that lots of schools already trust us with their international students (Tell your parents and international deans about this part. It will make a serious difference to how they react when you ask if you can do some of the things suggested above).
