B INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMME STUDENTS EXPERIENCE SAND DUNES, DOLPHINS AND MORE... Our international students have had a ball discovering new parts of Auckland recently, as part of the College’s special Term 4 International Programme. Last week the group visited Lake Waimanu and the enormous sand dunes close to Bethells Beach. They also took a whale and dolphin watching tour and saw several Bryde’s whales and hundreds of dolphins. This week students have been mountain biking as well as picking up some new skills in Fashion Technology, Horticulture and Art. The students have thoroughly enjoyed these new experiences, and have made memories of their time in New Zealand that will last a lifetime!
