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.

As an individual there are innumerable ways that you can play your part in being sustainable and preventing damage to the earth.
