First emails to our friends in Australia

Our club was very excited to start an email exchange with students from Central Coast Grammar School and Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School in Australia. We hope to exchange mails several times during the year and learn more about each other's culture, history, family, friends, and more. We'll be sure to post the replies when we get them.

Here's a picture of a first draft.
