Testimonials

Given my curriculum, I am not destined for teaching. However, I chose this school in order to have a complete immersion in New Zealand culture, to discover the political issues linked to bilingualism and also to flourish in this incredible environment. Thanks to this internship, I was able to learn a little Te Reo Maori, to play the guitar with Matua Tu, the guardian, to do the haka or even to do a perfect Jump Jam.
I met extraordinary people, both among the teachers and among the other trainees, and especially the children! La Ruma 1 brought me 26 little brothers and sisters over 5 months, full of energy, talkative, sporty and above all adorable.
