Lisa,Vicki, RYE Inbound Coordinator Robyn Ingram and the Lundo-Nielsen family were up bright an early Sunday morning to welcome Tijn van Eeden to D9920 as he starts his year long adventure. Tijn is one of 7 Inbound student's in the district this year and the first Dutch student in D9920 since 1995.

Tijn spent the first few days in New Zealand with his Counsellor for the year Lisa van den Brink. His first kiwi breakfast was one to be remembered with Jaffas's, pineapple lumps, Shrewsbury biscuits, scones, Tim Tams (and a couple of dutch additions to make him feel at home) on offering. It was a great chance for him to meet a couple of his host families who kept his mind off how tired he was!
He has now settled in with Tracey and Jon who will host him for the next 3 months.
