This is my report. I wrote about club activities in KGU and Unitec in NZ. I wrote this report for my class. If you have nothing to do, please read it.

KGU has a lot of clubs. Many of students belong to something club. We make friends in a club, and get on with other club members. We often do each club activity but, mostly, we enjoy drinking and driving with member of a club. I thought weather many clubs in Unitec like KGU or not. That is the reason why I decided to investigate about club activity.

First, I am going to explain about KGU Clubs activity. KGU has many clubs. Top of all clubs, there are a executive. Following the executive, there is culture clubs, club unions, sports clubs and workshops. These clubs have a leader.

KGU has 22 culture clubs. For example, there is Literature Club, Tea Ceremony Club, Walking Club, and so on. About 1,000 to 1,300 students belong to these culture clubs.

There are 15 club unions, and about 500 to 700 people belong to these club unions. For example, there is Bowling Club, Resort Research Club, etc.

30 sports clubs are there in KGU. For example, there is volleyball Badminton club, Tennis Club, Baseball Club, and all the like. There are about 30 students per club.

Finally, we have some workshops. For example, there is Geography Workshop, Marketing Workshop, Computer Workshop, and so on.

Next, I am going to explain KGU main activity. In April, we held orientation and bidding freshman. In May, we held a big Welcome Party. In this party, we introduce freshman over drink. In June and July, we do lots club activities. For example, we go for a drive, bowling, going sea, with club members. We make many friends through our club activities. In August, we prepare our school festival and parade. These are very big festival for all clubs in KGU. They enjoy competing weather which club will be winning. We start to prepare for them before two months. In November, we held a school festival. It runs 3 days. Each club sell own food and other things. Moreover, some contest was held such as Most Beautiful Girl in KGU Contest, Most Handsome Man in KGU Contest and so on. At night of final day, we display fireworks in the night sky and make much ado with listening music. And, we can see beautiful laser beams in the night sky. In December, senior students took over pupil students. Beyond that, all clubs have each activity. Club activity is very important some KGU student’s life.

In contrast, Unitec has original clubs. Next, I recite all Unitec clubs. There is USU Film Club, Outdoors Club, Village Club, The Active Film Club, Unitec Salt and Light Christian Fellowship, Football Club, Gaming Club, Squash Club, Christian Club, Vegetarian and Vegan Society, Unitec Toastmasters Club.

From here, I explain about USU. The USU was formed in 1977. The main function of the USU is to uphold students’ interests, provide services and ensure that all students are being treated fairly. The USU is student-run, student-focused and forded by student money. At the USU’s core is their commitment to represent and work for their members. Their purpose is to provide a means of communication between the members and external community, to advance the welfare and social life of members.

Especially, I was interested in 3 clubs in Unitec. These are Vegetarian and Vegan Society, Unitec Salt and Light Christian Fellowship and Christian Club. So, I explain these 3 clubs contents frankly to refer Unitec home page.

First, USU Vegetarian and Vegan Society is a club of animal rights and vegetarian life style. They have a potluck dinner, a film event, or a cooking class, and in offiliation with save Animals from Exploitation.

Next, Unitec Salt and Light Christian Fellowship’s member are student group who came from all sorts of different nationalities and church backgrounds but they are one in Christ. They meet up to pray, study God’s Word and encourage one another regularly every week. They spend some time in fellowship together, hangout, have fun. For example, they enjoy bowling, shared dinner.

Finally, USU Christian Club’s member sing together, have lunch together on Tuesday and share from the pure word of God. Apart from providing free lunch they also offer free commentary or Bible study with 9,000 extensive footnotes to help in concerning Jesus Christ their Lord.

In NZ, Vegetarian are account for 10 percent. In Japan, Vegetarian are nearly 0 percent except immigrant from other countries. Therefore, KGU has not Vegetarian Club. Moreover, Unitec has two different of Christian clubs. These seem like very similar. In fact, both are related to Christ. These are same at this point. I think people’s interest is relative to number and if people interested in, they distinct an appreciation of the shades of meaning. Therefore, I thought there are two kinds of Christian Clubs.

Many kinds of clubs are related to their country. For example, these are related in religion, faith, people, culture and tradition. I can take these USU Vegetarian and Vegan Society, Unitec Salt and Light Christian Fellowship, KGU Tea Ceremony Club and KGU Calligraphy club along the lines mentioned above. Because, as has been mentioned, vegetarian are characteristic of Western Europe and there are some vegetarian in NZ. Actually, I met some vegetarian. They like animal very much. Their main food was potato because potato is a rich food. And, Christian is religion. In NZ, Church of England are account for 14 %, Roman Catholic are 13 %, the Presbyterian Church are10 %, Methodist are 3 %, Baptist are 1 %, Irreligion or Non-responding person are 38 %.(It was survey in 2006) Like this, Christ is tie in NZ deeply. Equally, Tea ceremony and Calligraphy are traditional culture of Japan. Both of them have a long past and these are tie in our life. In this way, I learned these points of club activity. KGU and Unitec have some clubs that is related in own country, religion, culture, tradition.

Finally, my question that is main activity of Unitec was same in KGU was solved. I come to the conclusion that Unitec student enjoy not only just their club activity but also hangout, bowling and so on like KGU students. It is all I learned.
