Here is an update from our sponsored exchange student Isaac in Finland 

My summer was great and the weather was exceptional this year. I’ve got one more week of school then exam week to finish this first period. That means that the summer holidays ended 6 weeks ago already. Since school started up again time has flown by.

My family will be visiting in a couple weeks which I am excited about. I have district camp the weekend they arrive which I’m really looking forward to. Having the new exchange students around is nice but it’s strange because they’re not the same as the old ones. But things are going really well overall.

My host family has been really good to me. In four months’ time today I will be home which is crazy so I’m just trying to enjoy every minute here.

Kind Regards,

Isaac. A

In recognition of the Port Arthur tragedy on 28/29 April 1996 the R.C. of Modbury, in conjunction with Trees for Life and staff and students of Modbury Primary School, undertook a planting of 35 eucalypts and casuarinas on a recently cleared reserve at Sandalwood Drive, St. Agnes. Each plant was intended to reflect upon the life of each of the victims of the rogue gunman on that fateful day. The planting was undertaken in May 1996.

In 2018 the City of TTG Council undertook significant refurbishment of the planted area including the replacement of a number of the plants which had not survived the initial planting.
