Nina Ortner - Austria, July to September 2015
Hello, my name is Nina and I am an international student from Austria. It is so hard to describe the feelings you go through as an international student. At the beginning you are scared … new school, new culture, new language but the people are so nice and open. Everybody, either students or teachers support you. I made really good friends although I just spent one term here. I also found good friends with the other international students. I enjoyed the international cooking club and the trips we did together. Horowhenua College offers a big amount of subjects and activities. I enjoyed learning about the school system here. It is so different. For example, I have never heard of assemblies before. My host family supported me a lot and made my time here unforgettable. I can’t believe how fast the time goes. I want to stay longer. I had an amazing time. I’ll never forget ‘Nua’! » View all testimonials
