I have been meaning to post something on the blog for a while now - pretty much since you left actually but these four weeks have flown by, it's amazing you're almost home! Sounds like the whole trip has been just incredible (not that anyone didn't anticipate that) and I would love to be there with you (I suppose wouldn't we all)! Glad to hear you have all been excessively self-indulgent, that you are stimulating your brains like wise old men, and that Sam has seen the glorious light of Catholicism. I hope that Jack was a splendid guide for you around Paris (I taught him everything he knows) and that he showed off his merveilleux French. Did you manage to get to Louis le grand or see any of the students there?
News from Auckland... ahm we had a sunny day today?
Actually life back here is not so bad. The exchange vs New Plymouth Boys High on Tuesday was pretty successful- won the rugby, cross country and football, tied hockey and narrowly lost basketball. Had a great prefects leadership training day all day today down on the hockey turf and in the hockey pavilion; heading into ball season (better get back quick 7th formers, date numbers are dwindling); obviously winter sport is starting up and resits are high (or in a few, very rare and completely extreme cases, rather low) on the agenda for some people. So plenty to look forward to after London!
Anyway, I hope everyone hugely enjoys their last couple of days and I wish you all a delightful 30 hour flight home.
