New Students' Q &A

Year 9 Students Yumi Cabalse, Ashton Cromie, Kaha Frost and Siosiana Taufa were interviewed in their second week at college and shared what they were enjoying:

Being at a school with older students who have been ‘really helpful’, nice and are good role models.

Being able to choose some subjects.

Meeting new people, having different teachers for different subjects, moving around classes, and using different equipment – such as in Science classes.

Having really nice teachers.

Having lots of opportunities – sport, music and many other options.

The canteen, which has different food each day, at an affordable price.

All four students described their first weeks in one word each – exciting, awesome, fun and fantastic.
