AFS 2010

Year 12 student Helen Boseley has been successful in her AFS application and will live in the Netherlands for 12 months next year. Before her departure early next year Helen will be busy raising funds for this experience and would like the school community to support the fund raising ventures that Helen and the school may engage in.

 

 

Year 12 student Caitlin Whitford successfully applied for a very competitive scholarship sponsored by the Ministry of Education. This provides Caitlin with the opportunity to live in Japan for six months in 2010. Caitlin would also like support in her fundraising ventures that she and the school may engage in.

 

 

AFS STUDENT EXCHANGES

A student exchange opportunity is a great experience for our students. Over the years many Forest View Students have gone to a wide range of countries for varying lengths of time.

This is the chance to become fluent in another language, gain a future edge in the job market, make worldwide friends for life and really become immersed in another culture.

Students need to be in Years 11,12 and 13

They can apply for:
a) A year Programme and go to approximately 30 countries. There are two departures in the year.
b) A Semester (5-6 month Programme) – 9 countries
c) A Short programme – up to 3 months – 5 countries.
d) Ministry of Education Scholarships (fully funded) to go to Japan. Students must be studying Japanese for this award.

There are a range of other scholarships and financial assistance available. There are 5 scholarships; for Pacific Island students and Maori Education Foundation Scholarships plus a scholarship for India, 4 scholarships for Japan.

If a student is 18 there are Community Service Programmes for 6 months.

Any student who wishes to get an AFS brochure and further information should see Mrs Sommerville urgently. If any parent wishes to make contact to find out more please don’t hesitate to contact Mrs Sommerville at school.

HOSTING AN AFS STUDENT

AFS is looking for families who would like to host a student from a range of countries. Have an international adventure in your home! These students should have arrived one month ago but sdly they have not been able to come to begin their amazing experience. Having waited for a year or more to come, right now there are still 24 students worrying about whether they will be able to get here. Without a family and a school this is not possible. These students come from Russia, Germany, USA, Belgium, Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands, Czech republic and Hong Kong.

Here are some profiles of the possible students. Year Programme (approx 12 months, but this can be divided between 2 families) Contact Mrs Sommerville at the school if you can host a student.
