If you go back home yourself, that's called self-deportation for which the penalty is a little less harsh.
You shouldn't waste their time really, and yours.

Do you have any good grounds for appeal? - in other words, is there any valid reason why your attendance was so short as to get your visa cancelled?

I think dreammerchants words are a little unkind. Practically though, if you leave voluntarily , then you don't risk the 5 year stand down for being deported. INZ expect a 100% attendance record. So, unless you have very very good reason for not attending the course (such as a medical issue) and have been excused by your provider, you would be very unlikely to be granted a new visa, under S61.
