SUE-ELLEN MENZIES is an international student from India, studying the Graduate Diploma in Teaching (ECE). After completing a Bachelor of Arts and some training in Montessori early childhood education in India, Sue-Ellen decided to take up the challenge of studying teaching overseas.
" I wanted to experience another culture and see how teaching styles differ in other countries. The University of Auckland had the best reputation and I wanted a qualification that was going to be widely recognised both in New Zealand and overseas."
Sue-Ellen says that practicum has been a real highlight of the programme, " I’ve been able to meet new people, experience New Zealand culture and practice different teaching techniques."
