Clemence Dafniet – Tahiti

Hi, my name is Clémence and I’m from Tahiti! It’s an island situated in French Polynesia!

Actually, when I write this little text it’s my second time in Pukekohe high school for an exchange.

Pukekohe High School is a great school and the people who care about the exchange are so nice I love them! My life with my host family is perfect nothing to say about it. It’s my second time and I will come back for a third time and a fourth time… I love the fact that you are really in immersion with just New Zealand’s students. I think the thing most exciting is to make new friends even if it’s really hard to say goodbye but goodbye isn’t forever! So an exchange vacation is perfect if you want to work on your English and even better at Pukekohe High School! Thank you Lynda, Lydia and Mary!  Merci pour tout!

Studying with Pukekohe High School for 4 years has been such an incredible journey for me. What makes it truly special this year is that I have made many enjoyable memories with my friends. The teachers have been very supportive, helping me succeed with my academic studies. My time here has helped me become more confident and responsible person.

Josephine Baron – New Caledonia

My name is Josephine Baron, I’m French and I live in New Caledonia.
I’m an exchange student in Pukekohe High School for 2 months (one term). We start at 8:40 and finish at 15:10. I’m studying sciences, maths, social sciences, food, and nutrition, English and sports. I have met a lot of lovely people, they’re all very nice to me and help me to improve my English.
Usually at school, we are going to classes end at breaks we eat at the international lounge or in the field when it’s sunny. I really like the infrastructures; the school is really beautiful and it’s located in the city centre.
I have already made a lot of progress and I really enjoy my stay here!

Baiyou Zou – China

My name is Baiyou Zou. I believe that people’s first impression of New Zealand is the stunning nature and landscape. As you know, the reality of New Zealand is exactly what you thought.

I originally come from China. When I was 16 years old, I relocated to New Zealand to start a completely different experience and journey. I believe I made the right decision to study abroad, I have had a journey in New Zealand, as gorgeous as I could have possibly imagined.

Additionally, New Zealand’s culture is diverse, varied, and compatible, so you can have interesting interactions and communication with people. Furthermore, New Zealand’s environment provides a good platform to improve and shape my English.

In conclusion, I highly recommend people to have a unique and spectacular experience in New Zealand as I have.
