Kiwi coaches train Tokyo students
The GOE Rugby Demo Day was held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Oizumi High School. It was hosted by ENZ in partnership with Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education and Street Rugby Alliance, a foundation led by Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, dedicated to the development of rugby in conjunction with Japan’s hosting of the Rugby World Cup in 2019.
Two coaches from the Bay of Plenty Rugby Union came to Tokyo to lead the rugby training: Mike Rogers, CEO of Bay of Plenty Rugby Union and Wayne Brill, International Programme Manager and Campaign Manager for the Bay of Plenty Steamers. Together, they led the enthusiastic high school players in an intensive rugby training session on the field.
The coaches also participated in a series of media interviews including a local TV station and called on government agencies such as Japan Rugby Football Union and the Sports Agency.
Misa Kitaoka, ENZ’s Senior Market Development Manager – Japan, said the event was a huge success, and contributed enormously to New Zealand-Japan education relations.
“Demo Day provided an excellent opportunity for our government partners to see the actual delivery of the programme and see the quality of New Zealand’s education and sports offerings,” said Misa.
“I can definitely see the heightened interest in rugby in Japan, and it was great timing for ENZ to promote the GOE programme together with Bay of Plenty Rugby Union, an experienced rugby provider that also works closely with Education Tauranga.”
“Students were so enthusiastic that we finished the programme by high-fiving each other and saying ‘kia ora’!”
GOE Rugby was launched in 2014 in response to the Japanese government’s goal to improve the English language skills and sporting capacity of Japan’s young people, in preparation for the 2019 Rugby World Cup and 2020 Olympics.
ENZ looks forward to promoting New Zealand’s sports and English learning package in Japan by leveraging New Zealand’s strong country branding via the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

IntelliLab launched at NZIEC
Further developments to the portal will provide a more interactive experience, with customised dashboards and searches.
Providers will be able to use IntelliLab via a single log-in that will also give them access to ENZ’s SkillsLab and BrandLab.
ENZ’s Intelligence Manager Andrew McPhee described the response from industry users as overwhelmingly positive.
“The recently released New Zealand International Education Snapshot (2016 full-year report) is available on IntelliLab and is proving very popular with users,” he said.
Interactive tools on the portal include TED (The Enrolments Data), which enables users to access and analyse student numbers over the past five years by market, sector, and region.
Shortly, TED will be joined by ELF, a tool that will enable users to sort student numbers by level and field of study.
All previously available student number resources (visa dashboards and student visa trends) will continue to be offered on IntelliLab under the ‘Student Numbers’ tab without users needing to register.
You can access Intellilab on this link and either register through the Registration link on the homepage header or be prompted to register when first trying to download a document via the site.

International students help Kiwi kids become ‘Asia-ready’
The Foundation’s recent report, Losing Momentum – School Leavers’ Asia Engagement, shows that fewer than 10 percent of senior secondary school students are ‘Asia-ready,’ and more than half said they are not confident to engage with Asians, even in New Zealand.
Mr Draper says one solution may be to put in place a system where international students from Asia can engage with Kiwi students in a planned and structured way.
In the International Student Experience report by Study Auckland and ENZ, one of the challenges highlighted was international students’ lack of engagement with New Zealand students. International students said cross-cultural connection would make their experience more satisfying and enjoyable, particularly through structured events and organised socialising.
“They want opportunities to engage with New Zealanders and we want that as well for our young people – so let’s engage them in ways that would benefit both them and their Kiwi peers,” says Mr Draper.
“I can’t think of a better way to improve New Zealand students’ confidence to engage with Asian cultures than to have their Asian mates share their cultures with them.”
The Foundation holds ‘Experience Asia’ events in schools across the country where international students teach local students about their culture, such as how to make dumplings, how to play a traditional Asian musical instrument, or teaching martial arts.
Mr Draper says New Zealand school leavers’ lack of confidence in engaging with Asian peoples and cultures is concerning given that New Zealand’s present and future – economically, culturally and socially – are tied to Asia.
“All indicators show that Asia will play a critical role in young New Zealanders’ careers, their personal relationships, and their life experiences. Developing Asia-related competencies will be a necessity for their future,” he says.
