Mellons Bay School in Aucland, Zealand has a great international blog. It is quite different from the US blogs. On this particular blog it has different educational films that pertain to different assignments for the students to view on their spare time. Also I thought their blog was different because it has the enrollment of the students and they are able to pull up the lunch menu’s. The blog has information about recent events, school hours, term dates, newsletters, and absences. This particular school also has a way that you can join the PTA meeting on the blogs.
