A group of Australian students and their teacher are back home now after spending a week quarantined in China.

Fifteen kids and their two teachers were exposed to a man with swine flu during a flight last week to Shanghai. The group spent their first day looking around the city, but Chinese officials quarantined them that night. They spent their entire vacation week in quarantine.

Two of the students did test positive for swine flu. One of those students is still in a hospital in China. Both kids and one of the teachers did not return home with the rest of the group.

The group was from the Traralgon Campus of the Finders Christian College, east of Melbourne.
