Well, the countdown is seriously on now, although some students (and staff) have been counting since the very beginning! According to my countdown app, at this very moment in time, it is 21 days, 10 hours, 46 minutes and 14 seconds until we get on our plane over to Cambodia!
The excitement is getting real, the packing list has been set, our uniforms are here and we're soon to get out tickets! Before we go, we've got a bike ride this weekend to have a fun day as a group and a breakfast together and then we'll be finishing off the term with the Combined Schools Anzac Service at our local war memorial. We'll attend the Combined Schools Anzac Service as an entire group to pay our respects to our Australian Soldiers.
In the mean time, we're having a look at the different currency we'll be using and realising that the Vietnamese currency makes us feel like we're millionaires! We've also been learning how to say some different words and phrases in the different languages. It's definitely an interesting lesson when we hear everyone trying to pronounce the words correctly :)
Before we head off on our big adventure, we have to say thank you so much to everyone that has made this trip possible! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts to anyone that attended our fundraisers, bought raffle tickets, donated money, time and various items for us to raffle or use as prizes. We would also like to thank the businesses in town for their ongoing support of this tour.
It's been a big year, but we managed to reach our fundraising target thanks to you all.
