" I came here for Rugby and English. I love Don House especially Year 10 boys and Kylie is helping me everyday. I feel like I want to come back next year until Year 12" - Thailand Student.
"I really appreciate the international coordinators and all of the staff in the hostel for taking care of [my son]... Of cause it was a challenge for us to send our son abroad, but the international coordinator, Scott and Kylie always shared activities and how he behaved there. It makes us feel relieved. Sometimes, young generations don't talk much to parents but with the help of Scott and Kylie, we can know what he has been doing there... I have recognized that [my son] has grown much in the 4 months there. I'm proud of him and I hope that he develop himself much more in the rest of his time in NZ... " - Parent
