This morning, the students were all divided up into different classes. This offered them the chance to work with students from many different countries, and will (hopefully) help them to break out of the habit of speaking Japanese while at NMIT. They will stay in these classes during the next 4 weeks.

The afternoon began with them getting their new NMIT student cards. These cards will allow them access to the computers, plus can be used for discounts at many stores in town. Following that, we climbed to the “Geographical Centre of New Zealand” on a hill behind the city. Because the air in Nelson is so clear, we were able to enjoy superb views of the Nelson area.
