“I have been able to meet a lot of students – Kiwi and International. I really enjoyed my Outdoor Education class as I was able to Rock Climb, Surf and Kayak. The International Office organised trips to Rotorua, Waitomo Caves and to watch a game of Rugby in Hamilton.”

“I enjoyed meeting all the different nationalities. The subject choices I could make such as Dance and Hospitality. It was fun being part of a dance competition. I was also chosen to represent Ōtūmoetai College at the Mayoral International morning tea.”
