Sailing the Ocean Blue


Yesterday, 13 of our students boarded the catamaran Whiskers for a private boat trip to Rangitoto Island – the volcano in the middle of Auckland Harbour. The sea was a deep green and as there was no wind, looked like a lake. Some of us dived off and swam in the cool water under the boat, while others fished or relaxed. On the way back to the city, we had the company of 50 racing boats, which looked amazing against the Auckland skyline.

93 Languages International Students Hit the Town

This week 93 of our students visited three fantastic pubs in Auckland. We drank real New Zealand beer, did an international quiz and mingled with the locals - who gave a lot of the answers to the teams.
