Lili Bachman is from Hamburg in Germany. She chose to spend her 1 year overseas at BDSC and was amazed at how quickly she settled in and made friends.
“It feels like my world here… there are so many new things to do and all the sports I like. I wanted to get to know a different landscape, and a different culture - New Zealand offers so much.”
Lili is studying in Year 12. She chose Outdoor Education, Photography and Fashion Design which are subjects which she would not have the opportunity to study back in Germany, as well as French, Maths and English. She loves school and the subject choices available in NZ.
Outdoor Education has given her the opportunity to do kayaking and sailing, which she has loved. Lili is also playing competitive hockey and was in the school’s Dragonboating team in the first term.
Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city, with 1.3 million people.
