Identify a new Sister City

Use your Strengths, Weaknesses and Success statements to identify a sister city e.g. China has 663 cities – where do you start?

• Find a China city on a river
• Find a China city on a river with a flight school…
• Are any of those cities neighbours to a sister city to a

neighbouring District in NZ? …..Talk to those cities that want to explore an interest in a student pilot exchange
