School in Christchurch

“HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM yeah I like it but the clams could be better”

“Christchurch Girls' High School was established in 1877 and is the second oldest girls-only secondary school in the country, after Otago Girls' High School. The school stands by the Avon River, on a site it has occupied since 1986. Previously, the area was occupied by a mill that was first built in 1861 by William Derisley Wood, which became known as the Riccarton Mill. It is also next to the Mona Vale Garden park.”

“Merrin School is a great school for children to excel. Its ethnic diversity and cultural awareness prepare children for the future New Zealand.”

“Friendly teachers, cosy atmosphere. My kids have been going to this school for 3 years. Adore it.”

“It's a good place actually, don't listen too that emo pretzel entertainment. Big Chungus”

“The teachers are very kind and nice and all the students are very cool.”

“Awesome school so encouraging, professional with a really warm welcome feeling. A brilliant cohort of teaching and admin staff!”

“I did the beginning ukulele lessons with Catelyn. I really enjoyed the class, Catelyn was a great tutor - she was patient, friendly and knowledgeable.”

“I vote we all one star it because a teacher roasted me once. Good school. Very inclusive of everyone and a great staff keep interactions real and practical. Students are the real let down here...”

“Great friendly school. Place to be. Awesome programming and computer science classes! Good place for those who want to learn to achieve! Nice people and good atmosphere here”

“found a big long thing stuck to the wall it was sticky and had white stuff on it it was in the bathroom and there was a teacher in there before and there was a wig on the ground”

“So pleased we chose Sara Anderson Dance for my 3 year old daughter. Sara and her team are so lovely to the little ones, we really enjoy our weekly lessons and the showcase was a wonderful experience. The older dancers took the younger ones under their wings, looked after them and made them feel special. Thank you so much Kathryn”

“My paragliding journey started with a wonderful tandem flight with Grey Hamilton, the head honcho at Cloudbase Paragliding in Christchurch, and I fell in love with paragliding straight away. I decided to go to another company in Queenstown (just for the scenery) to start my paragliding training, but really didn't enjoy the teaching methods there so I came back to Christchurch to finish my training and become a qualified paraglider pilot. And I'm so glad I did! For starters, the scenery in Christchurch is also beautiful, but while you're learning you're concentrating so much you don't really think about that. What is much more important is what, and how you learn. Grey and his assistant instructors are very experienced, and they teach with care, patience, and with safety at the forefront. Also, (unlike in QT) they really love what they're doing, and I was never made to feel like I was wasting the instructor's time when it took me a while to learn something new. Grey also teaches all the necessary theory, from the physics of flying, to airspace law, to meteorology, and helps you through all the exams you need to pass to qualify. Having recently been awarded my licence, I feel super confident to explore NZ with my new gear (which Grey very kindly sourced for me at a discount price) ready to put my new skills into practice. And now I can enjoy all that beautiful scenery with no stress! Thanks to everyone at Cloudbase! :)”

“Bumblebees is part of our lifestyle now and the baby hasn’t even started yet. It’s an easy and good vibe here. Only have to ask the kids to put their shoes on once when it’s time for Bumblebees.”

“What an experience! 3 of us from Total Realty, along with our husbands, had the most incredible prep, cooking, and tasting experience! We had so much food we all took enough home for dinner. Was such a cool thing to do - get amongst it and have a go!”

“Tee was absolutely fantastic with my Son and he passed his first try. He always made him feel really comfortable and definitely gave him the confidence he needed. His parallel parking technique is spot on. Highly recommend.”

“Kings swim school staff are so incredibly lovely, helpful and accommodating . The facilities are very clean and family orientated. I couldn't recommend a better swim school to send your child to!”

“Great coaches, son is really enjoying his school swimming classes, we might have to come back and continue. He has mobility issues and it works well for him”

“Warm and kind Lady Emma who teaches our horse riding class very happy and joyful. Definitely we will come back.”

“Lynette is an absolute legend. Both my children had lessons and passed their restricted 1st go. One of mine was super nervous to drive and Lynette absolutely calmed her down and gave her the confidence needed to drive. I also highly recommend, when it comes to the test day, you book the lesson and test package. The support role Lynette plays really helped both my kids feel relaxed as she was with them as their support person the whole time during the test. Thank you so much Lynette, you are an amazing driving instructor and wonderful Lady. We will always be so thankful to you.”

“Staff are fantastic and were excellent in helping my son Jake settle. They were helpful, caring and supportive. Admin staff is excellent. Friendly and efficient”

“Rangiora Nursery School has been such an amazing place for my children to learn and grow. The staff are warm and welcoming, the environment is ideal for busy children and I love the learning through play philosophy. I have recommended Rangiora Nursery School to so many friends and families now and they to have no regrets sending their children as well.”
