An opportunity for NZ primary schools to grow their international business!
ENZ and SIEBA are running a professional learning and development programme for primary schools hosting international students from Years 1 to 6. The online programme, which will run in this last quarter of 2024 and into early 2025, will help primary schools grow their international business, helping them navigate everything from markets to contracts and much more!
The programme, which starts on Tuesday 15 October, is a new initiative jointly organised by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) and Schools International Education Business Association (SIEBA). Hosted by ENZ’s Mary Camp and SIEBA’s Melissa Heyrick, the series of webinars is open to all New Zealand primary schools, from those seeking Code Signatory status, to those starting out, and those looking for support to grow.
The programme will run from Term 4 into early 2025 and every aspect of managing an international programme for primary schools will be covered – with the focus on Years 1 to 6. Participants will meet experts, be guided through services and resources, get connected to others, and get advice to support success.
The webinars will be interactive and engaging, and content will be shaped as the series progresses depending on the needs and requests shared during the sessions. Mary and Melissa are both former teachers and will provide open, jargon-free sessions that build the confidence of the primary school sector to grow international business that benefits both schools and their communities. There will be plenty of time for questions and discussion.
Following the first session on Wednesday October 15 at 3.30pm there will be two further sessions in 2024 to help schools prepare for Term One 2025. There will be further webinars held throughout 2025.

E tipu e rea – grow and thrive!
