“My experience here is not limited to school. I heard a lot about the relaxed and friendly lifestyle in New Zealand and I found out: it is totally true! I really like it. From the bus driver to the people at school, everyone is so friendly and welcoming. “

”My life in Papanui is a crucial part of my life. It was challenging, but I made many precious memories. There was not enough time to see the entire masterpiece of New Zealand, but coming to Papanui was definitely the best choice.”

"The best part about being at Papanui High School is the teachers and friends. The teachers are funny and not strict and I can study well. The classes are really good. I will come back to New Zealand soon because I will miss my new friends. My English has improved."

Lillith - Germany

Lillith stayed with us for 18 months and she decided to complete her NCEA - New Zealand's National Certificate of Educational Achievement.

Lillith's parents wanted to make sure that the German authorities would accept her New Zealand qualifications and allow her to enter university in Germany.

Fortunately, NZQA is a recognised qualification and Lillith achieved her university entrance requirements and was accepted.
