What's it like to be new to MAGS !!!

By -
Hi all, I'm Saranya and my journey at MAGS started about 6 months back... Here is short poem that summaries my feelings over this time. Hope you enjoy !

Anxiety on one hand and excitement on the other
I reached for the door knob as I wondered.
I felt like a little girl again as my eye sank inward
And my mind lay plain.
There was complete silence as I entered my first class
I thought there was no way I could last.
But somewhere in my heart
I knew it was me who had to give it a start.
I went ahead and introduced myself
And all of a sudden there was a change I could sense.
Everyone looked and then they smiled
The experience was slowly turning sweet like candy to a child.
Within an hour I made new friends
But this is not where my story ends.
Subjects and teaching styles are plentiful and vary;
Practical or theory, there was nothing to worry.
Sports, clubs and activities at every single turn;
So much to study and much to learn.
The teachers are friendly and oh so kind,
Their passion and job to expand every mind.
It has been six months now I’m having fun and going with the flow,
But the bell has rung and now it’s time to go.
School’s great and I wish to come back everyday
Hope you are also enjoying the MAGS way!!

French Exchange 2019

By Anonymous -
On the morning of Saturday 15th June, more than 20 anxious MAGS students rolled up at Auckland International Airport to meet their French exchange students for the first time. Families got to know each other in the hour long wait for the kids to emerge with French teacher, Madame Olive. There was a flurry of excitement and a jumble of "will I recognise her?" and "is that them?!" as the wait grew longer and nerves escalated. Eventually a bunch of familiar faces rounded the corner, and students and their families awkwardly met their new house guests for the next five weeks. The French kids spent three weeks at school with their students, following them around classes and making new friends. They got the chance to practise their English skills and learn different subjects, even though in France it is the Summer holidays! After the three weeks of work, the real fun began! MAGS students took their kids on road trips throughout the country, visiting places such as Taupo,

Little Ways to be Eco Friendly

By -
Sustainability. Environmental awareness. Some people would call these fads, but climate change is not going to be short lived. Unless we take action. Nowadays there is lots of talk about how to save our earth. Friends talk about it, family talks about it, people post about it on social media. ‘I spent the weekend doing volunteer tree planting’, ‘I joined a stream clean up’, ‘I’m going vegan, long term’, ‘I donated to a wildlife rescue organisation’. It’s easy to feel guilty that you aren’t doing all of these things too, but the reality is they involve time, money, effort and organisational skills. Don’t worry! You don’t have to be extreme. As an individual there are innumerable ways that you can play your part in being sustainable and preventing damage to the earth. And they don’t have to be expensive or grand, just simple changes that will reduce your carbon footprint and help you have a positive effect on the world. So many products include plastic these days.
