The worldwide results for Cambridge International Examinations confirm that New Zealand is among the best places for secondary students to excel at their studies. |
On Saturday 30 March eleven students from ACG City Campus went to visit the open sanctuary on Tiritiri Matangi Island with Mr Hodges. After several last minute lunch purchases from Subway and a relatively calm one hour ferry ride from Auckland, they arrived on the Island and headed north for a guided tour. Scenery was spectacular but the birds seem to be keeping the same morning hours as most of our students and sightings were sparse until near the northern end of the main track they encountered a family of Takahe at close quarters (7th most endangered bird in the world).
The ACG Tutor Community Programme got off to a good start on Monday 11 February. “At first I didn’t want to go to Tutor Community meeting,” said Kim Khanghyun, “but I’m glad I went. Reflecting on how I learn will help me improve the way I study and, I hope, my grades”. Each Tutor Community has a tutor who guides the students through a study skills programme designed to train them in essential academic study skills within the context of their course of study. Attendance and punctuality are also monitored by the tutors, and student welfare needs supported.
On Wednesday 22 August 39 students graduated from the AUT International Foundation Certificate. One of the highlights of the ceremony was the Principal's inspiring words. Mr Haines took us on a metaphoric journey of selfdiscovery and learning, 'paddling our kayaks' up the mighty Waikato River, meeting the 'rapids' and 'whirlpools' head on, with courage, initiative and creativity.
