Life in Blenheim
What can I do while I am studying in Blenheim?
There is plenty to do apart from studying!
There are many sports and music activities in the school. You can attend the school dances, get involved in a large theatre production, learn an instrument, and join one of the school choirs or jazz band. We also have public speaking competitions or you could join our environmental group.
Playing sports is a good way of getting to know local students and getting involved in a wider range of activities. Term 1 is the best arrival time to ensure access to a team. Access to individual sports depends on the season e.g. Volleyball and Tennis are played in summer, Terms 1 & 4. Netball and football are played in winter, Terms 2 & 3. For competitive teams, students need to arrive when teams are being selected and attend a trial.
There are many outdoor activities to experience. There is the award-winning Queen Charlotte Walk and Marlborough Sounds, Nelson Lakes district, and Pelorus River, to name but a few. There are many groups that organise exciting outdoor adventures for international and New Zealand students, church Youth Groups, and music, theatre, sports and clubs to choose from.
