Last week Languages International Christchurch staff held a special event - "Pink Day”.
Curious as to why they chose this particular day and colour I asked what their inspiration had been. I got three different (and interesting) answers:
- Pink was chosen “as it is not a color of the rainbow and is vastly underrated”
- The colour was also chosen because one day coincidentally three teachers all wore pink to school. Two of the other teachers (feeling a bit left out) asked whether pink had become the school uniform. One thing lead to another, and the staff decided to have a Pink Day.
- According to zen philosophy, there doesn’t have to be a reason. It just is.
So there you have it! The Christchurch staff are already planning their next "day". They are going to have a Caption Day - all the staff will wear a caption, so check back here soon for photos.

Czech Students Share their New Zealand Experience
Ahoj (or rather, Kia Ora) from Auckland New Zealand!
This is our last day here at Languages International and we can’t believe that those 4 weeks just zipped away so quickly! We had great time in this school: effective teaching, enthusiastic and attentive teachers and both fun and academic atmosphere. But it was not all just classroom time – we wanted to see as many of New Zealand as possible, so we travelled around Auckland - both with the school and by ourselves. Lots of beautiful places, lots of pictures, lots of wonderful memories… We think that the whole experience was totally worth it, because it has helped us build our confidence in English, learn new things, meet new people and explore new destinations. We are a bit sad to leave New Zealand (and even the skies are crying today!) but really hope we can come back one day – so, “děkuji, Languages International” and “doufám, že se brzy zase uvidíme!”
