09 Feb International Student News

This term we extend a very warm welcome to over 70 international students from a range of countries including Germany, Switzerland, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Austria, China, Hong Kong, Korea, Thailand, Fiji, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan & Vietnam.

All were invited to attend the Pakuranga College powhiri, or Maori welcoming ceremony, for new students. As part of the proceedings one brave newcomer, Niklaas Eckmann, addressed everyone in both Te Reo Maori and German, to the admiration of both staff and students.

We look forward to getting to know all of our international students and welcoming them into the Pakuranga College family.
