New Students' Q&A

Year 9 Students PJ Taumaoe, Jorja Abernethy, Sophia Aguila and William Byron-Brown were interviewed in their first week at college and said what they were enjoying about college was:

The diversity and cultures within the college.

Meeting students from different schools, in ‘real life’ rather than only over social media.

Meeting and getting to know each of their subject teachers, who they described as ‘capable and able to help students grow’.

Taking a range of different subjects, and having a variety of subjects to choose from.

All four students liked their ‘fresh new start’ and said they were enjoying college at this stage, and ‘definitely’ enjoying their classes. Once settled into a routine they were looking forward to getting involved in opportunities outside the classroom.
