| Benjamin Cabrera, Camila Moro |
We are Benjamin and Camila, international students who had the lucky to study in Glenfield College for four months.
We arrived to Auckland three months ago, and the first day (at the beginning of the 3rd term) we met the staff of the school and they gave us a warm welcome in Maori style and we met Linda, our international delegate, who had been help us in everything.
After that we met our dean and chemistry teacher, Mr. Fulby. He helped us to choose our subjects and he introduces us two girls from the last year, to help us to find the classes rooms.
In that moment we noticed that everybody were kind and friendly, every single teacher gave us a welcome and good wishes for our stay here.
The school motivate us to do different activities, like tramping, kayaking, sports, arts and all that stuff.
We did a tramping weekend with the staff of the school in Waitakere Rangers, was simply amazing.
We took sports too.
In the 3rd term Benjamin took football, he enjoyed playing in the team, he had matches every Saturday against different schools.
I took archery in the 3rd term too and i learned a lot of things because was my first time.
Our classes here are really different and exciting compares to our classes in Chile. In the Chemistry class we can experiment, we have theoretical and practical lessons and we think that is really good, because you can put into practice all the things that you learned and finally you can learn more than just only doing test and exams.
In our country we have fifteen subjects, we can not choose, everything is obligatory and you are stressed all the time. Here we only have six subjects and we can choose what we want.
We think that is better because you are focused on what you want to be.
Now we are enjoy our last month here, and we already now that we are gonna miss the Glenfield Family.
