Student Testimonials:

"I never thought that I would be studying in a wonderful school at New Zealand- Mount Roskill Grammar School. It is really attractive because of the lessons in school. It is completely different than school in Vietnam. I do not have much homework as well as the lesson is more practical. I could use the knowledge that I was taught in real life. In fact, it made me feel very interested to school every day. Even though my English is not really good I can still understand what the teachers say because they help me by using clear meaning when they teach. I just came to school for 4 months so far but I had many friends. Students here are so friendly and they help me to be familiar with the life in New Zealand. My English has improved a lot by talking with my new friends every day. Also, talking with my roommate and host is a way that make my English better. Now I feel more confident when I use my English for communication. Sometime I missed my home, friends and the food in Vietnam but because I have already had some trips in school I felt better. It also helped me to have experiences in different beautiful places in New Zealand such as Taupo, Rotorua. I think this is a best school that I have studied and I hope that next year will be successful too."

"I’m Mai Linh, and I’m from Viet Nam. I am studying year 11 at Mt Roskill Grammar School. I came to New Zealand on July 2018. The first thing that made me impressed about this school is students, teachers, staff - they are very friendly. I found many things, made some new friends and especially I realized how the education is different than Viet Nam. Students can choose what subjects they want to learn, and teachers will support, give them with many helpful advices. Moreover, our school has many activities, clubs that can improve students. Students will have more confidences in learning, and making decisions for their life. Besides, I have had many interesting experiences. I can improve my English skills, enjoy new life in New Zealand. Not only friendly but MRGS is also the best school I have ever known. They organized some programme for international students such as: outdoor activities, surfing, and other trips. New Zealand has many beautiful places to travel. Living with a homestay, a local family is highly recommended. You can experience New Zealanders’ lifestyle, culture, to become a native person and show how respectful you are. I have many reasons why I choose New Zealand to learn and start my new life. I never regret about my decision."
