Final farewells to their tutors and friends at Sataedu this morning, thank you to boring Teija Österlund Saija Ketola and Tatjaana for taking such great care of them, and of course, Suvi Lindberg for co-ordinating the placements. Brilliant experience in Finland 🇫🇮 #erasmus23

Our students on #international placements are busy over in #Sataedu, #Finland. Tom Hughes, Head of Sixth Form and Access to HE said “It has been incredible to hear the students talking about their experiences... I don't think they quite realise how much they've grown.”

We basically had all four seasons in one day today. How do you pack for this?? 😅 #erasmus23 🇫🇮

Ihanat kv-lainaopiskelijat muistivat jokainen jollakin esineellä lainaopea kun jätimme heipat 3 viikon jaksolle. Jokainen heistä jätti jälkensä myös lainaopen sydämeen, kiitos Lily-Mae, Sophie ja Olivia from Grimsby England. @sataedulainen #erasmus23 #internationalstudents

And that's a wrap. Final walk back to the hostel in Pori for the last sleep before returning to the UK. Thank you Finland, It's been emotional 🇫🇮🙌 #erasmus23
