1) How has being part of a diverse and international community influenced your understanding of different cultures and perspectives? Being part of a diverse and international community experience opened my eyes to the many different ways to live a life. There's no one "right way," and there is so much to learn from everyone and everything around you. It's allowed me to better understand different people, the world, and myself...

1) In what ways has your perception of traditional education changed since attending THINK Global School? If I were to have stayed in New Zealand, I would have told you that my school taught me maths, history, and how to take a test every month. However, here I can tell you that my school taught me how to live, operate independently, adapt to change, constantly push myself to be a...

1) In what ways has your perception of traditional education changed since attending THINK Global School? Before TGS, I was in a very traditional educational system.

Hi Paula, can you tell us what you've been up to since graduating in 2018? Right after graduation, I took a short backpacking trip around Europe. I knew I would start university in September and wanted to squeeze in one last travel adventure. It was interesting to experience the transition from "school travelling," where things were usually planned for us and safety was a priority, to "solo travelling," where nobody...

Hi Elliot, can you tell us what you've been up to since graduation? Our academic years start in February, so after graduating, I lived with my family for eight months, working fast food full-time and organizing a final iteration of the Traveling Shorts Film Festival (a yearly film festival held at TGS), as I wasn't quite ready to let that go as a TGS institution. Then in 2019, I started...

Greetings TGS, Long time reader, first time blogger here. Some of you may have noticed that I can be a little patriotic... My friends in Abu Dhabi used to joke that New Zealand has "small country" syndrome because it is always determined to be the best. I think like the Canadians, we are determined not to be seen as the same as our more populated neighbours. With that in mind...
