New Student Q&A

Year 9 Students River Fuluasou, Mōana Moore, Jaren Munn and Ruby Robinson said that for them, as newcomers to College, they enjoyed:

+ meeting many new people and making new friends from different schools and backgrounds + reconnecting with friends from their former school + having staff members who were also new, understanding where new students ‘were at’ + all their teachers, who were

‘really nice’ + their Ako teachers, and introductions in their Ako class saying it was ‘fun’ to learn about other people + their subjects and choice subjects.

What they liked about College was:

+ the variety of education and different subjects to choose from, whether Innovation or Traditional Subject stream + being able to be on the lighting and sound team, part of the Peter Pan play, singing, piano or choir + looking forward to Orientation Day to view other activities/groups available.
