Because of the great weather, we decided to join the social programme and went sailing with approximately 15 other students, Simon T and Aaron. Our captain was a really friendly, old man and had built his boat, called ‘The Southern Spirit”, himself. It was quite a big boat with a cosy cabin. You could just
Advice for New Students from Current Students
You should take warm clothes and an umbrella in case it rains, but also your sunglasses and your sun cream because the weather in New Zealand is very changeable. Take a map in case you get lost, but if you don’t have a map, it isn’t a problem because the people in New Zealand are

Zoo Antics
Last week, despite the rain, 13 students went to the Auckland Zoo. We needn’t have worried because as we arrived, the clouds disappeared & the sun came out. The zoo is famous for its conservation programmes, helping leopards, rhinos & tigers all over the world. Everyone was excited about seeing the kiwis and tigers –
Motutapu Tree Planting
Last Sunday, 9 Languages International students and 2 teachers joined the volunteer force helping to return Motutapu – an island in Auckland’s Hauraki Gulf – to native bush.

Ride the Segway with Languages International
10 Languages International students travelled into the New Zealand countryside to one of Auckland’s newest attractions, the Luge Park. We took a slow ride to the top and then an adrenalin filled zoom down the hill, occasionally taking our eyes off the track to enjoy the sunset. Some students tried their luck at Minigolf and

On Tuesday we went to Bethell’s Beach after school. Eleven Languages International students from Russia, Taiwan, Switzerland, Korea and Japan came out to see this beautiful beach. The weather was ideal, and the students saw New Zealand’s wild West Coast at its most dramatic and beautiful. Bethell’s is one of our least developed beaches, which
