Clubs Day Debrief -- Anny

Today is Otago University Clubs Day. Nearly seventy clubs gathered in the library lobby to exhibit and recruit new members. The scene was very lively. It was a great opportunity for me to learn about student associations onsite.

I was delighted to find some interesting clubs and have signed up. First, OUCSA (Otago University Chinese Students’Association). In fact, I have joined the OUCSA Wechat group one month ago. There are a lot of useful information to share. Second, Yoga & Meditation Club. The weekly classes will start on next Tuesday. I’m looking forward to it. Third, WiHN ( Women in Health Network). It aims to create a supportive community of non-binary health professionals and tackle gender inequities across the health sector through mentoring and events programmes. A conference will be held next Saturday. I spent time communicating with them and felt well.

It was a productive day.  Joining clubs is very helpful for us to cultivate new friendships, learn new skills, work with diverse group of people, etc. Next I'll attend the club activities, which will make the most out of my studying and visiting experience.

The Ideal School: My Vision -- Riko

                  Since before, some people consider that academic subjects (math, science, biology, history, geography, etc.) are the most important. In addition to this, these days, the 4Cs (critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication) are regarded as essential. Although it is true that these subjects and perspectives are extremely important for life, I suppose that it is also significant to learn skills and abilities at a school to live independently.                 This kind of school would have high quality of teaching about housework as much as academic school. Students at the school could learn how to cook, grow plants, make and fix things with some equipment and tools such as kitchens, electric drills, etc.). One of the advantages of this style is that the students would not tend to be bored because they can learn about many fields widely. Moreover, these skills are essential to live by oneself. One of the reasons of this is that doing things by oneself c

I’m Jimmy from Taiwan. I came to New Zealand to learn English, experience different lifestyles, and try working abroad using my working holiday visa. Now I am in homestay in Green Island with the Morris family. This is my second time in New Zealand. Last time in Dunedin I just passed through this city, but now I have joined the general English course at the University of Otago. By learning in a foreign university environment, I want to improve my English level to increase the chances of future employment. By the way, It also means that I could have more time to appreciate the beauty and culture of Dunedin. So far I found there are a lot of attractive Scottish style architectures and nature sceneries, and I think the weather in Dunedin is very changable. I have already finished my Masters Degree in food science and biotechnology. My favorite subject was food chemistry, because I could understand the principles of how food changes. I like to play badminton, tennis, go mountain climbi
