International Student Testimonial:
"‘I have found the active learning at Paraparaumu College helpful and supportive. It makes it easier to understand English when it is practical. We
often work in groups. The teachers and students are friendly and always willing to help. With the support I have achieved excellent results in my
subjects and am more confident in what I can achieve in English. Digital Technology and Science are my favourites and I have achieved Excellence
in these subjects. At the local mall, I can go to the movies and buy a lot of different Asian food. There are regular trains to Wellington City. I enjoy
playing football and like how close I live to the beach and school. The houses in New Zealand have big gardens and are spacious."
