Woodstock School has its second successful
GAIL Student Exchange Fair
Taken from the weekly newsletter put out by Dr Jonathan Long, Principal:
Enlightening, Exciting, Exchange!!
Woodstock is an international school, not just because of the hugely diverse make-up of our community, but also because of our links with other progressive schools globally. Our exchange programme enables students to spend part of their education at schools around the world. Today's exchange fair was an opportunity for students who are interested in taking part in the exchange programme or attending the GAIL Conference to be inspired by the incredible experiences of others who have already returned or are currently here on exchange representing their schools

Scotch College hosts Kristin School sports teams
Andre Van Den Bergh reports:
On 5 June this year we took a group of 16 students (10 girls and 16 boys) to play sport against Scotch College, Adelaide. We played football (soccer), netball, basketball and hockey.
The visit also involved a cultural programme organised by Scotch College and on the Saturday, our students were entertained by their host families.
We returned home on 11 June after a very well organised and success trip.
Next year Scotch College will visit us at a date still to be determined.

Robert Gordon's College sends a teacher to Kristin School
This term, Kristin has the pleasure of hosting Nicola Stephen, a middle school teacher from Robert Gordon's College (a GAIL school in Aberdeen, Scotland) who is exploring the transition students make as they move from the junior to the senior school. Her research fellowship will involve interviewing and surveying students in Year 7 and Year 10, to learn more about their experiences. She will be comparing our processes and support programmes with other GAIL schools and her findings will be available for all to see.

GAIL Conference report from Kristin School
Emily Stewart (Year 12) writes:
The recent GAIL trip to South Africa was an incredible experience, and made a huge impact on all ten students from Kristin (and two teachers) that participated. After twenty hours of flying we arrived in Johannesburg, then the next day it was off to the GAIL 5-day conference at Prestige College. GAIL, or the Global Alliance for Innovative Learning, is an opportunity to collaborate with people from schools all around the world.
This year the focus was Ubuntu, which essentially means connectedness. Some of the conference highlights included going to Maropeng – the Cradle of Humankind, the group projects, learning about other cultures, and getting to know everyone! After a week at Prestige College, we sadly had to say goodbye to everyone and headed off to Kruger National Park for a 3-day safari. We were lucky enough to see more than just impalas - we were chased by elephants and saw a variety of other animals including giraffes, rhinos, and zebras! For the final leg of the trip, we flew down to Cape Town, visiting Table Mountain, Robben Island, and projects helping township communities.
This trip was honestly life-changing, and expanded my world view and appreciation of other cultures. It was an amazing opportunity, and I highly recommend signing up for next year’s conference at Kimball Union Academy if you’re currently in Year 10 or 11.

4th GAIL Conference is a Huge Success
How do you measure the success of a conference? Well, based on the GAIL value of changing young lives for the better, it is clear that the conference was a huge success. The students and staff from Kristin School reflected on their week at Prestige School and here are some quotes:
"The experiences we were exposed to at Prestige College challenged my thinking and what I have learnt through the process of learning and bonding is that this international community has changed me forever."
"Honestly the whole experience of travelling to South Africa was something that has changed my perspective on life."
"GAIL has been the best experience of my life so far."
"One of the main highlights of the trip for me was being immersed in such a different culture to what I’m used to, and learning about it. I absolutely fell in love with South Africa’s people, culture, and landscape which I encountered at the conference, and during the rest of the trip."
"I have learned how such diverse cultures can come together and bond so strongly in a short amount of time. GAIL was definitely a once in a life time experience that I will cherish and remember for the rest of my life."
The full list of reflections as well as some photos can be seen under the Conference tab. Have a look!

Another Wonderful Conference is over. Thank you to Prestige College and South Africa!
A week long conference with the theme of UBUNTU was hosted by Prestige College in South Africa. What an amazing place and friendly people. Besides the many presentations, debates and projects related to the theme, the delegates enjoyed a game drive in a local game reserve and an visit to the Cradle of Humanity. The media team from the school did a superb job with recording all the many activities as videos as well as daily recaps of the previous day's activities. See the photos below.

Students of Prestige College Produce a video to welcome delegates to the GAIL conference
Robert Gordon's College learns about the Chinese Valentine story through an art project with the Western International School of Shanghai
This art project is another great way in which GAIL schools are looking to collaborate. The students from both schools benefit so much when they can work with students from a totally different culture. In this case the students at WISS were able to share their local story with the students at RGC, who had no exposure to this story. The students were introduced to some new skills including some needlework. To read more about this traditional story from China and understand the artwork shown below, have a look here.
The final product - a Magpie Bridge

Unplugged and Upbeat! - An initiative from Woodstock
“What! Give up my devices for a whole week???” Middle Year students walked into Unplugged week feeling apprehensive about letting go of their electronic gadgets, not sure how they would fill their time without being connected to the outside world! However, it didn’t take long for them to discover that their freedom from the confines of a screen held endless possibilities!
Over the course of the next 7 days, Grades 5-8 engaged in numerous independent and group activities. Games of Four-Square spouted up, basketball competitions were spontaneously organized, girls learned how to make their own scrap books (from scratch), class meals were had and there was even a day of hiking in and around Mussoorie, and much much more ensued.
Student Quotes
“I was excited to bring back the fun things we used to do in grade 6 (before we had gadgets)”
“I started to make and do things which I would never have done otherwise”
“We spend much more time talking to each other now”
The week was filled with a number of very positive experiences. Students who don’t usually spend time together began to talk; students (thinking they were in the grip of boredom!) remembered the small things they once loved to do and began to create once again. Relationships got much stronger as well. This wasn’t just a ‘valuable experience’ for students, but something where adults also became much more aware of the role of technology in their lives!
Naturally, when the week ended the students were excited to get their hands on their gadgets once again. However, since then we have noticed that the projects, conversations, and love of sport have continued despite their reunion with the world of technology.
Overall, the Unplugged week was a great success and planted many-a-seed in the minds of our young people about how they can chose to fill their idle time. They have realized, through experience, that boredom does not have to always be medicated with a screen, but can instead be explored and embraced with the people around you. More importantly, they are learning that they have the power to make educated decisions about their use of time and that technology can positively co-exist with other things like relationships, creativity, and enjoying the outdoors.

Scotch heads to Philippines for Service Project
Service Learning at Scotch is taking a leap and heading overseas. Conversations about facilitating a Global Service Trip were initiated by students last year, and have now eventuated into an exciting plan to travel to the Philippines in January 2018.
This trip will provide students with the opportunity to delve deeper into issues of inequality, social justice and cultural diversity. A small number of students will be selected to participate in this program which will involve multiple workshops, fundraising and the experience of a lifetime overseas including: teaching English and games to young Filipino children, cultural exchange with elementary school students, hands on projects such as typhoon relief, planting fruit bearing trees and the opportunity to engage in genuine community development.

GAIL Student Exchanges - Kristin hosts 4 Scotch students
Recently Scotch College sent 4 students to Kristin on GAIL student exchanges. Two of them summarise their experience below.
Summary by Annabel Montes
I had a very enjoyable experience at the GAIL trip. One of the highlights was camp at Cooks Beach where we went mountain biking, kayaking, surf lifesaving and hiking. We also got to take part in their sports day which was a very enjoyable day.
School at Scotch is different to Kristin as they do a lot more of their work online using a program called Education Perfect. They also have longer periods so instead of 8 periods in a day they have 6x 1 hour periods. In their French classes the teachers speak French the whole lesson and we are not allowed to speak English. I initially found this challenging but I did find it improved my conversational French.
Activities I did with my host family included going up the Sky Tower in the Auckland CBD and visiting the Waitomo Glow Worm Caves.
For the next part of GAIL, in two weeks the students that hosted us will be coming back to Adelaide for three weeks. They will get to stay with us and experience coming to Scotch. On the weekend we will show them around Adelaide and we are looking at going to Glenelg, the Adelaide Hills and they will join us on our Year 8 camp.
I recommend this opportunity to all year 7s as I have enjoyed experiencing something new and stepping out of my comfort zone. I would encourage everyone to give it a go.
GAIL reflection by Patrick Wilson
Highlights and activities.
The GAIL exchange held many highlights for me.
Living with my host family was very different from my home life in Adelaide.
I became the fourth boy in the house as my exchange buddy Sean had two brothers; Max, 10 and Jack 14. The house also came with Sylvie the cat.
The exchange held a few firsts for me. I travelled to school by bus. I did my first paper-round and jet-skied in Murray’s Bay, not at the same time! I went zip-lining in a New Zealand forest at Waiheke Island, tree adventuring at Woodhill where I tight-roped between the trees, it was a bit scary as it was a long drop to the ground!
Our exchange included the Y9 Outdoor Ed Camp to The Coromandel. The journey took 2 and a half hours from Kristin School by bus. For Camp, we were split into tutor groups, each group was allocated a different place to stay; Hot Water Beach, Cook’s Beach or Hahei.
I went to Hahei Resort which was 100 metres from the beach front. On arrival, we pitched our tents and unpacked. Everyone was expected to help each other and help the staff. One difference from Scotch was that parent volunteers came along. Saxon’s buddies father was the Camp doctor.
Whilst on camp we went on a 5 and a half, hour tramp (Kiwi for hiking), sea kayaking, mountain biking, rafting and surfing. I had an awesome time and met lots of friendly New Zealanders.
Kristin vs Scotch
The campus is much bigger than Scotch as there is over 1500 students. Instead of Mentor they had Tutor Groups and they discussed upcoming events and other important information.
Kristin has a House system but they have only four Houses. They had a space theme and were named after either planets or space programs – Apollo, Saturn, Mariner and Jupiter. I was placed in Jupiter as that was Sean’s House Group.
There was a tuck-shop which unlike Scotch’s canteen was small and sold only a small amount of food.
The subject choices were different from Scotch; I went to my first Spanish lessons and English, Geography and History were combined together as Humanities.
Recommendation.
I would recommend this experience for students who are willing to do something different and experience what it is like to go to a new school and live with a family you have never met before. It is a great opportunity and if you ‘go with the flow’ you will have an unforgettable experience. I certainly did!
Buddies at Scotch.
Sean and the other exchange students are arriving at the end of this month. They will stay with our families for three weeks and will take part in our Y8 Outdoor Ed Camps. I’ve planned to take Sean to a footy match as they don’t have AFL in New Zealand; they are mad for rugby. All four host families are hoping to meet up at Cleland National Park to show them some Aussie animals, hopefully no-one gets pecked by an Emu!
I hope they will have as much fun as we did in New Zealand.

NEWS from KUA - Lilly Wigglesworth and Dhamey Norgay
Lilly Wigglesworth, an exchange student from Kristin, has been at Kimball Union for a term. By clicking on the following link you can see her short address to the school about her time with us.
Following this is a photo presentation and talk by KUA graduate, Dhamey Norgay, son of Tensing Norgay Sherpa who, with Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953, were the first climbers to summit Mt Everest. Dhamey attended both Woodstock School and KUA. Dhamey currently has a son at KUA and a younger son at Woodstock.
The last few moments of Dhamey's remarks show a quote from Tensing that is a great motto for GAIL student leaders:
Be great. Make others great.

We had our First Annual EGRS [Exchanges / GAIL / Round Square] Fair today at lunch time and it was fantastic!!! There were so many 8/9th grade (12-14 year olds) students walking around asking questions to former EGRS participants it was REALLY fun to see!!! Students designed their own booths, set-up their own presentations, and had some answers ready to go for questions they thought would probably be asked!!:) A special shout out to Ronell or “Mam Jacobs” as my student Kelzang calls her, who made a guest appearance today during the fair!! That was awesome and thank you for that and ESPECIALLY thank you for allowing Kelzang to log on!!!:)
Now let me hit you with the EXCITING stuff!! Numbers!!!:)
46 = Number of students who signed up for EXCHANGE or at least want to know more about it!!!
17 = Number of students who signed up to apply for GAIL (in addition to the 14 we already have signed up)!!!!
7 = Number of students who blindly signed up to apply for next year’s Round Square Conference (which the info hasn’t even been released yet)!!
70 students in all took to the sign-up sheets wanting to know more about Exchange, GAIL, or Round Square!!!!:)
