During October a group of students and staff from Te Kapehu Whetu held a successful cultural and educational exchange with Oak Park and River Forest High School in Chicago. The exchange was an opportunity for students to see and appreciate first hand one of the largest economies in the world, participate in school life in another country and gain a global perspective on New Zealand’s position in the world. This video is a highlights package from that trip that also includes a visit to Ross School in New York, and stopping off in Washington DC and Los Angeles.
