Meet Sasi Sutjarit, who came to Northland in July 2022 from Thailand to study in year 12 at Whangārei Girls’ High School.

What made you choose Northland?

I choose Northland because I like the weather because it’s not too hot and there’s no snow here.

What do you love most about studying at school in New Zealand?

I love that the people here are always friendly and take care of me. I can choose the subjects I want to study, especially the art subject. Teachers here do not block students from expressing their opinions.

What are your favourite experiences in Northland?

I am staying with host family for the first time. It is a really fun experience as well as learning new cultures and trying new foods.

What are your interests, sports and hobbies?

I usually like to play badminton, listening to music, watch movie, drawing art, planting trees as my hobbies.

What is your favourite local place to hang out with friends?

I like to go to the mall and do some shopping or watch the movie with my friend, go to a cafe or some restaurants. Especially where it is popular on the internet.
