  • Language and culture exchange strengthens ties with South Korea

    The students, from 64 schools across South Korea, were welcomed by Waiuku College and St Peter’s School in Cambridge, where they connected with local students, explored school facilities, and experienced Kiwi culture first-hand. From powhiri to classroom visits, the exchange sparked meaningful cross-cultural connections.

    Waiuku College Director of Community and Global Relations, Antionette Walters, said the students were amazing, and willing to make the most of their experience.  

    “They were so happy to give anything a go – they even loved trying a New Zealand mince pie!” she said. 

    At St Peter’s, students toured the Equestrian Centre and Golf Academy, with Head of School Jason Speedy welcoming the group and sharing insights into the school’s campus and learning environment. 

    The visit followed a two-week English training programme in rural South Korea, where six experienced New Zealand teachers taught students aged Year 8–11. Selected from over 35 applicants, the teachers represented schools from Hamilton, Hawke’s Bay, Auckland, Cambridge, Wellington, and Tauranga. 

    ENZ representatives joined the programme’s opening event in Yangpyeong on 25 July, meeting the teachers and witnessing the enthusiasm of Korean students engaging with New Zealand’s distinctive teaching style. 

    Bernadette Moffat, ESOL Teacher at Silverdale Normal School and Huntly Primary School, said: “It was a privilege to represent New Zealand and see how eager the students were to learn.”  

    Bernadette was one of six New Zealand teachers who travelled to Korea to teach English and attended the closing ceremony where students were recognised for excellence in English. 

    Looking ahead, EPIS is exploring the possibility of expanding the current short visit into a four-week study experience in New Zealand from 2026, offering even deeper immersion for future scholarship recipients.

  • New Zealand shines at the 35th annual EAIE Conference

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ), in collaboration with all eight New Zealand universities and UP Education, demonstrated a commitment to international education and partnership. 

    The conference’s theme 'Go Create!' set the tone for a flurry of meetings and engagements between New Zealand representatives and international partners centered on innovation and collaboration in international education. 

    The New Zealand Pavilion proudly unveiled the refreshed Education New Zealand brand, featuring a sleek, modern design that aligns with the iconic New Zealand Government fern. This updated visual identity reflects the quality, ambition, and global impact of New Zealand’s international education offering. 

    The pavilion also showcases imagery from the new global campaign, "New Zealand Taught Me", which highlights how knowledge is nurtured across the country. Through powerful alumni stories, the campaign illustrates the transformative experiences international students gain in New Zealand. 

    From L to R: ENZ Chief Executive Amanda Malu, New Zealand Ambassador to Sweden HE David Taylor and ENZ Associate Director of Engagement Europe Olga Elli at the New Zealand pavilion.

    A key event of the week was the New Zealand networking function, hosted by New Zealand Ambassador to Sweden and the wider Nordic region, HE David Taylor. ENZ representatives and visiting New Zealand institutions utilised the opportunity to connect and share with partners from across Scandinavia.  

    EAIE is one of the most significant global gatherings for international educators, government agencies, and academic leaders. It provided a valuable opportunity for New Zealand education institutions to engage with peers, present their offerings, and foster meaningful partnerships all in one place. 

    ENZ Chief Executive, Amanda Malu, said EAIE was a powerful reminder of the opportunities that lie in international education.  

    " From reconnecting with long-standing partners to exploring new possibilities, the energy and interest in New Zealand education was truly exciting,” she said.
