International News

We welcomed Japanese students from Shinagawa Junior High School on 4 March 2024, who visited our school for two weeks, with a mihi whakatau.  They were once again hosted by our school community and enjoyed trips to Auckland Zoo and University during their short stay.  As a farewell, they sang our national anthem beautifully, gave a group demonstration of synchronised moves in Karate and each presented about their experience with a comparison to their life in Japan.

We also welcomed five new international students from Thailand on 12 March 2024 into our school whānau.

Students: (left to right) Namo Pongpumpiched, KlaThamsoonthorn, Nabtang Sorsomboon, Manna Wairatpanij, Hana Thianyoi, with their agents and representatives, Mrs Sirintorn Duangkhot and Ms Panthip Kiatpattanachai.
The students from this group have been to various places in New Zealand before and have returned on this trip to spend 2 months at Sancta Maria College.
