Ben An

International Head Boy

To be a student leader of Tauranga Boys' College International Department, I feel really honored and I am proud of it. I have been studying in Tauranga Boys' College for five years now, I have met lots of students and made lots of friends from so many different countries, most of them were nice, friendly and kind. From the first day I arrived at Tauranga Boys' College, all of the staff members have been very kind to me, they have shown me lots of warmth and welcome. They looked after me very well. There were lots of activities that the International Department has organised for international students in Tauranga Boys' College, such as taking us to lunch every last day of the term. New students could go to the restaurants that they have never been also they could also make friends by these activities. We also had trips to some other cities around the North Island. It is a really good chance to take the students to places they have never been and seen the view they never seen before. Tauranga Boys' College has also often organised social afternoons (tea or sports) with other schools around Tauranga. It is also a very good chance and activity for students to see international students in Tauranga. These activities that the international department has organized are always very fun and I have always enjoyed them.
