The following is a record of students comments while in their work placements. They have studied the Certificate in Ecotourism at Tai Poutini Polytechnic in 2007 and are reflecting on the reality of the workplace they are in an how their training is being applied.
Kia Ora Kotou!
Happy Holiday Season to everyone. I hope everyone having enjoyable time with your whanau!!

Harakeke is flowering beautifully now. I have been seeing Yellow crowned Tui and bellbirds lately!?!?! Because we have yellow flowered flax in our garden.

Hello guys,
Long time no see all include Mihoko. I was away for a month and 10 days again. I have a short break and rushed to finish workbook.
You can get next week, Geoff!
See you next.

Hi
How is everyone keeping, well I hope?
It was good to catch up with Helen when we recently visited Christchurch. We are thinking of her especially with her father being very ill.
How's things Shinji & Mihoko? and what about the baby/mother Tom?
I caught up briefly with John at college last week.
My didymo work is going good. I've been fortunate to get involved with catching blue ducks in the Styx Valley as part of Doc's blue duck recovery work. Amazing birds to hold and band!
Not long now to my UK trip from 1 April until 7 May 2008.
Take care everyone. We look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
Mark
