Rachel Ng – Hong Kong, 16 years

“Studying at Southland Girls High School has developed me as a person. I am studying Year 11 this year and sitting Level 1 NCEA exams. This is both a step up in my learning and a challenge, as I am studying Year 12 maths also. Fortunately, my teachers and classmates are always willing to help me which helps my academic performance.

I actively participate in lots of extracurricular activities such as the Leo Club, Art Club, and the school magazine and I also play badminton for the school. I have made so many friends by being involved in the school community. Leadership roles such as a peer tutor and a SMAC Maths coach allow me to bond with junior students”.
