My last day at Gospel High School! And my last day of university!!! Whoah!!! A sad but lovely day! So many beautiful farewell speeches from students & teachers. And so many gifts!!!
Here you see photos of a special farewell morning tea event held for me & my interpreter. All the school staff (about 40x staff members) bid us farewell, said prayers to god to wish us well, & also invited us to return to the school anytime in the future. A lovely feast of tea & snacks were provided for us - but as I was so busy chatting to everyone I had no time to eat!!!
The gifts I received was a lovely wooden art piece with an image of Fiji & 'bula' engraved on it. Also, some clothes from a teacher colleague & Indian bracelets!!! And a gorgeous surprise gift from my students - a fijian 'masi' print wall hanging & a folio of all their wonderful hand art images. I was so moved by this!!! I did not expect to receive so many gifts!
I was rather tired on this day - as you can see in the photos! This last & final week at the school was rather exhausting as I tried to make sure I had time with each & everyone of my students & colleagues before leaving. And I also had a few nights out socialising with my new fijian friends.
Last 2x photos you see below are images of my interpreter (& me behind the camera) saying goodbye to Gospel High School (at the back of the school) & to Gospel Primary School for the Deaf (behind the high school on same block of land).
