School Assembly Held in Meadowbank School in Honor of the YCT Participants

In November last year, over 200 students from Meadowbank School sat the YCT Level 1 and 2 exams. YCT is an international Chinese language test which is administered by the Confucius Institute. Meadowbank is the first school in New Zealand to have over 200 students sitting the test.
Students from Meadowbank have been working very hard to prepare for the test and they have achieved some fantastic results. Last Friday at the school assembly students were congratulated by our Principal Mr Peter Ayson and Mandarin teacher Ms Amy Ko. 13 top achievers received awards from the Confucius Institute Director Ms Nora Yao and Exam Coordinator Ms Meiju Wang. World TV has reported about this event in the Mandarin news.
