Current International Students at Corelli

Penny, Yr 12:

New Zealand, the air is clean, I can see the beach, maybe I can see the snow because I have never seen the snow in China, but it's a little cold. I need to speak English here, but that will be ok. I can try many sports here. My classmates and teachers are friendly and I am enjoying the arts-based curriculum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ryan, Yr 12:

I have been in New Zealand for one year now. My parents gave me this opportunity as New Zealand is a good place to study. The Corelli School is helpful to me. I am hoping to become an architect.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ladhu, Yr 5:

My name is Ladhu, I'm from Belgium. I like this school and enjoy coming here. I like the weather in New Zealand better than Belgium. I like this school because you can do music, art, drama and a lot of other stuff.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maria, Yr 5:

I like to go to The Corelli School because every day and every morning when I come to school I have dance and stretch. I like all the teachers, all subjects and dance. I'm so happy when we learn something new and when we learn a new dance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jacob, Yr 3:
