“I’ve really loved the course. All the teachers here are really kind and friendly and I’ve made friends from all over the world. I have classmates from Russia, Korea, Turkey, Vietnam and Taiwan. I will be very sad to say goodbye to them all. Another good thing about Fern is that every Friday the school has an activity so I’ve been able to have a really good look around Auckland. Our class has been to Mission Bay, looked at volcanoes and done lots of other sightseeing activities. It’s been great!” Arisa Kinjo (Okinawa, Japan)
