Our History students are about to touch down on NZ soil after a fantastic tour. "To finish our time in Vietnam, we bid farewell to our tour guide, Thomas. We visited the site of Thich Quang Duc’s (burning monk) self immolation statue. We have explored the Buddhist crisis a lot in Y12 History so that was very interesting to see. And before we jumped o the plane to NZ, we finished up having an awards ceremony at the airport."
