A.F.S. holds planning meeting
One hundred American Field Service delegates and observers attended the annual meeting and planning week-end at Living Springs, near Governor’s Bay, of AF.S. New Zealand at the week-end.
Twenty-five of New Zealand’s 27 chapters were represented. Overseas guests included Richard Spencer, the Australian chairman of A.F.S.; Professor Peter Grothe; and Don Mohan Lal, vice-president of A.F.S. International. “Towards New Horizons” was the theme for the conference and delegates were encouraged to support new programmes. Last year A.F.S. was host to 12 shortprogramme students from Australia and 107 year-pro-gramme students from 11 countries. Nineteen shortterm students were sent to Australia, Malaysia, and Thailand and 144 year students to 14 countries.
This year A.F.S. will take part in two new programmes. Thirty-six Japanese students will come to Christchurch in July for a language programme based at Christchurch Polytechnic and in secondary schools, and an exchange of secondary teachers from China will begin in 1985. An outdoor programme based in the central North Island will begin later this year.
