High School and Middle School (Milestones in NZ)


Ellie scooter, it is all down hill on the steepest street in the world.

Ellie plans to learn to play the Clarinet and compete in all the sport opportunities at school. Her teacher is a "gentle giant" - and probably one the coolest teachers at DNI. Mr Tofia is a Maori man that focus's on art and social sciences. He is funny and firm with the kids.

Ellie's first day of Middle School. Gotta love the uniform.

Alex on his first day of High School.


He really likes his crazy science teacher, everyday we hear about some insane experiments involving liquid nitrogen or hydrogen.

The kids school uniforms are really expensive, but luckily Alex won a $300 scholarship for his accomplishments in Sports and Art.

It was really neat that he was validated by the school for his many biking accomplishments. Alex has competed in several Bike Jams Competitions in Montana and in New Zealand over the last year.

 He also was recognized for his film and movie making skills .

Check out his youtube channel with his bike films;Alex's films.
