NZ - Australia Matched Student Exchange |
 |
 |
|
This programme is designed to foster international understanding between Australians and New Zealanders. Although arranged by the district committee it is largely run on a family to family basis with support from clubs.
Students need to possess good knowledge, be responsible, of good character, and most importantly, be able to mix well.
The committee administers the programme of matched exchanges whereby secondary school students from our district aged between 13.5 and 16 years on January 1 exchange with Australian students. The New Zealand student lives with the family of their matched Australian student for 13 weeks attending the same school. The Australian student accompanies the New Zealand student back to their New Zealand home and school for 13 weeks.
