Hello my name is Hyeuk Jin Kim. I am from Seoul in South Korea. I am fourteen years old, in Year 10 and have been in New Zealand for nearly three years. I was at the nearby Mt Cook primary School for 18 months and learned a lot about school in New Zealand there.
When I came to Wellington High I was already with some people I knew from Mt Cook so it was not so strange.
I live with my mother and step father.
My New Zealand Life
Hello, my name is Hyun Young (Rachel) Kim. I come from Seoul, which is the capital city of South Korea. I’ve been living in New Zealand for one and a half years.
The reason I chose New Zealand was because my brother had been here since 2005, and he’s done well, and also that my aunt and her family are here. My aunt and uncle take care of me and my brother instead of my parents. I also have to speak English well because I want to be an air stewardess.
I am Jae Min Kim. I’m 16 years old and I’m from Seoul, South Korea.
I’m in Year 11 at Wellington High School and this is my third year here. I’m studying: English, Science, Economics, Digital Media, Japanese and my favourite subject Mathematics. I am studying maths at Yr 12 level this year, doing NCEA level 2.
Last year in Year 10 I achieved merit in level 1 mathematics and am sure I can do even better this year. Last year I also won a prize at the senior prize giving for excellence in Mathematics even though I was a junior.
