First Day at School

On Monday we met at 8:30 at the school and everyone had a placement test which involved a grammar / language function test (30 minutes), a 150 word essay (30 minutes) and a speaking test. After morning tea timetables, facilities etc were explained and then we were taken on a tour of Auckland University. We also arranged our bus passes for the next 3 weeks. The day finished at 3pm and everyone was quite tired.
It was a great start with new friendships being made. There are students from China, Korea, Iran, Brazil although students from japan made up half the class. This is because it is our spring vacation in Japan.

Miku was waiting for us in the morning and has obviously settled in New Zealand very well.

Here are some photos of our first day.
