Hi everyone! I’m writing this from Monash University where I’m in my first year studying for a Commerce degree. I’m working really hard but feeling reasonably confident as I think my two final years of secondary school at Wellington High School have prepared me well.
From Here to University.
Hello everyone. I spent one and a half years at Wellington High School.
I was really happy to be in this beautiful place where everyone was friendly, especially my teachers who were really kind and helped me with my studies and learning English. In Yr 13 I studied Calculus, Statistics, Physics and ESOL. Because of my helpful teachers I achieved very good results in my last year at school.: NCEA Level 3, University Entrance and a scholarship in Calculus. Scholarship means top 2% in the country.
Wellington High is Interesting
Hello, I’m Cuong and I’m 18 years old, from Hanoi, Vietnam. I have been in New Zealand for two and a half years. At the moment I’m living in Wellington and studying at Wellington High. At school I study Maths, ESOL, Chemistry, Food Technology and Mechanical Engineering.
I’m enjoying studying Mechanical Engineering and Food Technology because there are a lot of interesting, practical things to do in those classes like cooking and sawing and welding.
Wellington Life
My name is Loan and I’m from Vietnam; a beautiful small country in South East Asia. I have been here in New Zealand for one year and four months, that’s a long time, isn’t it? I’m an international student and I’m studying at Wellington High School.
First Impressions of Wellington High School
Hoai Phuong Nguyen - Ho Chi Minh City Year 11 2008 -
Rain always comes and brings the lush colour of green, the pure stream of water to wet everything, wipe out daily stresses, brings the rainbow to add colours to the sky.
It was a rainy day-my first day at Wellington High.
Everything seemed to be completely new to a sixteen year old girl-me. I walked to school scared and nervous.
“Am I going to be OK in a whole new society? How can I be nice to everyone? Am I different because of being Asian?”
I studied at Wellington High for 2 years and I have many good memories of my time there.
When I came to Wellington High for the first time, I was nervous but excited at the same time. Later on I got used to the school's system. I made many friends. Some of them were from Germany, the others from Asia and New Zealand students. They were very friendly and helped me a lot.
I had a close friend. His name is Hunter- a New Zealand student. He was a friendly guy. He showed me many interesting things around the school.
My name is Thuy Nguyen. I’m 15 years old and I come from Hai Phong, North Vietnam. I’m a year 11 student and I’m studying 3 ESOL classes so I can improve my English quickly and Mathematics, Computing and Economics. I really like my ESOL and Maths classes. I’m living with my Uncle and his wife. They have lived in Wellington for quite a long time now and it is good for me to live with them because they are kind to me and help me with my English. They also understand me well because we are from the same family and the same country.
