Youth Exchange: Our inbound  exchange student (Katrine Lundsgaard) has now been in Australia for 3 months and has settled in very well to Australian life. She has been well looked after by her first host family, the Cranage family (Peter and Karen). She is now at Mittagundi for a week long camp with other inbound students. This is always a highlight of the youth exchange calendar. On her return on 5^th November, Katrine will move to her 2^nd host family (Alice Glachan and Nicholas Little). Our current outbound (Lauren Murphy) continues to have a wonderful year which is fast coming to an end. She will return to Australia in January when Tess Kadaoui will depart for her exchange year in Denmark.

Fiji Schoolies Project: We have 10 confirmed students (7 girls and 3 boys). These comprise 5 local students and 5 inbound Rotary exchange students. We initially had more local applicants, but some withdrew putting the program at risk for this year. We were given permission by the district youth exchange committee to offer the program to inbounds, subject to usual club and parent permissions. This resulted in 5 inbounds applying. Kellie and I will chaperone together with 1 Rotex (ex Rotary exchange student). Flights and accommodation all booked. We depart on 26^th November and return on 6^th December.
