    The decision was made following discussion and consultation with sector representatives in relation to COVID-19.

    Although we are disappointed to have to make this decision, the health and safety of international education sector representatives is of paramount importance.

    While August may seem some time away, the nature of conference planning timeframes mean that a decision was required now. This decision provides certainty for all involved and also allows us to focus on other priorities during this unprecedented time.

    We will continue to look for ways to keep international education professionals informed and connected in the coming times. Keep an eye on E-News for the latest information.

    We look forward to being in touch later in the year as we start preparing for NZIEC 2021.

  • Kiwi schools celebrate at SIEBA hui

    The Schools International Education Business Association (SIEBA) held its second biennial hui over two days in Wellington.

    Featuring more than 60 presenters, including author and television host Nigel Latta as keynote speaker, the hui was an opportunity for professional learning and a chance to celebrate the schools sector.

    Jennifer Kirkham, SIEBA Professional Learning & Development Operations Manager, was impressed by the involvement and enthusiasm from delegates.

    “It is a testament to the value they see in SIEBA events and activities, both for member schools and the wider industry, and also shows there is an appetite for greater collaboration.

    “We appreciated the willingness of sector presenters to share with their colleagues, as schools always love to hear what others are doing. 

    Another highlight was the presentation by lawyer Tim Conder on how schools need to change their contracts and disciplinary processes to align with the recently amended Education Act.

    “I think we all left the hui with long to-do lists,” said Ms Kirkham.

    To celebrate the sector’s success, six international education professionals were honoured at the awards dinner with SIEBA International Education Leadership Awards.

    Allan Goodhall from Mount Maunganui College and Grant Berry from Kerikeri High School, both on the eve of retirement after decades of service to the sector, received long service and outstanding contribution awards. 

    Lynda Sullivan from Rangitoto College received an award for innovation, and Terry Kraettli from Epsom Girls’ Grammar School, Barbara Charlton-Kelly from Newlands College, and Annemieke Hart from Tauranga Intermediate received recognition for their outstanding contributions to the school sector.

    Recipients were nominated by their peers and were all deserving winners.

  • Changes to online agent training programme

    Dan Smidt, ENZ’s Manager – Agents says the upgrade is long overdue and will make the programme more tailored to agents.

    “The current online agent training programme has operated largely unaltered since 2013, and there have been considerable changes in technology and learning styles since then that mean the programme is not as effective as it could be,” says Dan. 

    “The programme will be re-designed from the agent perspective and have a range of tools, resources and training material that will assist agents in promoting New Zealand as an international education destination.

    “Industry stakeholders will also have an opportunity to create learning modules when the new programme is launched.”

    The new online agent training programme is intended to re-launch in November 2018.

    In order to facilitate the build of the new programme, the current programme will become unavailable near the end of June.

    We encourage all agents who have started the training to complete it as soon as possible. Click here to log in.
