Dear Worldwide friends and partners. Greetings and welcome to the April 2019 Worldwide School of English email newsletter.
We have been having an absolutely fantastic Summer. Lucky for the students that have been in New Zealand during this time.
As we head into Autumn, if you have any students arriving in the next few months please remind them to be ready for mixed weather ? could be hot or could be cool ? and anything in-between (several times in one day!!)
Worldwide's nationality mixture March 2019:
As usual ? MANY students from MANY different countries.
Working in New Zealand
As everyone knows, New Zealand has a very strong economy with plenty of working opportunities.
The annual average unemployment rate in Auckland was 4.2% in December 2018, down from 4.6% a year earlier. The unemployment rate in Auckland was lower than in New Zealand, where the unemployment rate averaged 4.3% over the year to December 2018.
With our Job Club Class and Function Staff partnership ? nearly ALL our students can find part time work during their studies (if they have a Student Visa or a Working Holiday Visa).
The news has just got even better for our students though!
The New Zealand minimum wage has just increased to $17.70 with an extra $1.41 if holiday pay is included
Tragedy in Christchurch
Many thanks to those who sent kind messages after the tragedy that was the Christchurch shootings last month.
It was a big shock for us in New Zealand.
We thought these things happen only in other countries. New Zealand is famous for its tolerance and friendliness and welcoming of all kinds of people.
But we have learned that the problems of the world can sometimes come to our beautiful and usually peaceful country.
Here are the facts.
One man, who travelled from Australia a few years ago attacked 2 Mosques in the city of Christchurch and killed many people.
This kind of terrorism has never happened before.
He was not from New Zealand.
He was caught quickly.
There is NO evidence of any other terror cells in New Zealand.
New Zealand has guns because we have many farms and farmers need guns to shoot pests on their land.
Most New Zealand people do not have guns. Even the Police in New Zealand do NOT carry guns.
Since the attack there have been changes to our gun laws banning automatic rifles. This happened very quickly and is similar to what happened in Australia 25 years ago when they had their worst ever mass shooting.
New Zealand is a very peaceful and welcoming place and since the attacks there have been many stories and many examples of kindness and sympathy for all people from other countries and other religions, in particular our Muslim brothers and sisters.
New Zealand is still a peaceful, loving country and one of the safest countries in the world to visit.
If you or any of your students have questions or concerns please do not hesitate to ask.
IELTS courses at Worldwide School
We are running TWO IELTS courses at Worldwide School.
IELTS 4 and IELTS 5
IELTS 4 is for Worldwide School level 4 students (CEFR B1-B2) that would like to progress to IELTS 5 course but their English level is not high enough yet to join that class. It is a “ get ready for IELTS “ with a focus on more reading and writing skills than a General English Level 4 class.
As with our main IELTS 5, it is morning only class option with extra study material in afternoon available in the school Library. There is no extra cost (same fee as General English) and runs with a maximum of 18 students per class. 4 weeks is the minimum sign up period.
IELTS 5 is our regular class for students wanting to take the IELTS exam
