Reflection: When I first came to Merrin, I was in Year 4. Everyone at Merrin was very kind and helpful to me, and made me feel welcome in my first year at a new school.

Over the years, I have had many memorable moments in Merrin. I enjoyed all the outside activities that we had at Merrin, such as the Skiing, Camp and Surfing. These activities were very fun.

I have achieved much in Merrin, with very supportive teachers every year. My teachers supported me with my studies, and they have allowed me to do my extension work during class time, which let me do very well in my NCEA exams.

Overall, I feel that Merrin has been a great place for me, with good friends and supportive teachers that have guided me and helped me to achieve more. I will be very sad to leave Merrin, as I have been here for four and a half years.
