Testimonials

"I had an awesome time [at] Motueka High School. I've tried new challenges - drama, dance, squash, haka, disco, making kiwi foods, sea kayaking... Especially, I really enjoyed drama class. It was hard for me to act with English. but all of my friends helped me. Thank you! ... If we have drama class in Japan, Japan will be cheerly country more and more."

"Time has flown since I arrived in late January and I am really not sure where it has gone! I have got so many lasting memories to take home with me such as the Outdoor Education Tramp, designing and making my very own bone carving, being part of the Netball United Team, being part of Senior Band and cooking delicious meals in Food Technology – my Mum will be quite impressed when she will see how my cooking skills have improved. And last but not least I have learned how to play the Ukulele!

Not only will I take lasting memories home, but I have got a lot of ideas to share with my school and classmates back in Germany. These include House Sports Day, Mufti Day and the High School Ball. Thank you once again, Motueka High School, for making my time so amazing!"

"New Zealand was really awesome, I had a very good time here. I think I enjoyed Outdoor Education the most. The South Island is amazing and the funny thing is it looked like 'The Lord of the Rings'. I met a lot of nice people here that I will never forget. It was a very good experience and I think I will visit New Zealand again."
