| Dont Take Our Word for it. Hear from some of our past internship sites: "Blair was professional, friendly and easy to work with. She took new projects in her stride and was flexible and happy to help all departments in Special Olympics Australia. She was a great help during a busy time for Special Olympics and it was a pleasure to work with her." -Special Olympics Australia “It was a terrifically positive experience for us and we'd be keen to host another intern next year if someone with a theatre interest was looking to work with a small arts organisation in Sydney.” -Monkey Baa Theatre Sydney “Aaron was an excellent intern who made my life a lot easier. As with all major sporting events, it is essential to have people with a “can do” attitude and Aaron certainly showed his. We have become good friends over the past 6 weeks and I will definitely be writing him a reference and will be available for verbal references also. He has been a pleasure to have on the team and a number of the other staff members will also miss his attitude, personality and work ethic” -SMC Events NZ “It's always a good experience getting a fresh take on things and the international perspective students bring, along with latest academic thinking, is a great resource to tap into.” -Wellington City Council “It has been wonderful having interns at Wellington High. They have come in, quickly found how they can make a contribution and been willing to make resources, work with groups and been able to add give the students a perspective from another country. They have assisted in open evenings, sports coaching and all the things that make a modern secondary school work. Staff have moved from thinking they might be a burden to asking when is our next intern coming.” -Wellington High School | |
