End of year programme.

by Amanda Wright

For our International students not sitting NCEA exams we offer a wonderful End of year programme. This year we had a mix of activities trying out some new experiences that the students loved. During the outings we had time to reflect on the last year and talk about what life has been like in NZ. We were also lucky to join with some other schools who were also doing their Programme and a few extra guests joined us for the Hanmer trip and yesterday going to the Gondola and Lyttleton.
