Coming to study in New Zealand has been a really great experience for me. At Pakuranga College, I have the chance to study subjects that aren’t available at school in Vietnam, such as Outdoor Education and Catering & Hospitality, as well as regular subjects like Maths and English. The classes are really interesting and the teachers are friendly and supportive. There are plenty of opportunities to try new things and I’ve gained lots of new skills and made loads of Kiwi friends. My English has improved a lot too, and I think I have a lot more confidence now. I will miss everyone here at Pakuranga College when I go back to Vietnam.
