Mara Fiedler from Hamlin in Germany came to New Zealand in July 2000. She came for one year to study at Kavanagh College. The Principal, Mr Ferris, had visited her home in Germany to arrange the study after she contacted the New Zealand Consulate in Hamburg. Mara fell in love with New Zealand, and after a great deal of consideration has decided to stay and complete her secondary studies here. The flexibility of
the New Zealand qualification at senior 1evel meant that she could focus on subject strengths and gain really good marks for her study. Now she is at the top of her class in English, History, and Drama. She is also the stage manager in the school production of 'Jesus Christ SuperStar and loves working with the school theatre and IT equipment She plans to work in the media after graduation from school.
