New Zealand School of Tourism sends students to China
The new partnership provides Hainan Airlines with a regular pool of professionally trained flight attendants, and enables NZST to offer overseas employment opportunities to its New Zealand and international graduates. All trainees must meet Hainan Airlines requirements and have recognised tourism qualifications from NZST.

Try to establish partnerships with companies where international students have a competitive global edge.
NZST Chief Executive Nicole Domett said it is a fantastic opportunity for New Zealand and international students to work for a successful Chinese company.
“NZST is privileged to be able to provide Hainan Airlines with enthusiastic, work-ready students to help them grow their business.
"We look forward to helping more tourism students succeed in this industry.”
Hainan Airlines conducted its first recruitment interviews at NZST’s Auckland Airport campus in March, where nearly 50 NZST students and alumni competed for the chance to live and work in China. Hainan Airlines employed 13 of the students: seven from New Zealand, four from Korea, and one each from Japan and China.
Hainan Airlines said the partnership is a valuable way to staff its international route services between China, New Zealand and Australia.
“Working closely with NZST allows us to recruit highly trained flight attendant students with a global perspective and sense of adventure.
“We see the friendly attitude, professionalism and in-depth training received by NZST students as indispensable qualities for our internationally-minded flight attendants.”
Hainan Airlines will travel to New Zealand in October to recruit more flight attendants as part of its twice-yearly recruitment agreement with NZST.

Measles outbreak: information for international students
There is currently an outbreak of measles in New Zealand.
We encourage you to stay up-to-date with the latest advice and information on the measles outbreak by visiting the Ministry of Health’s website here.
Measles is a highly infectious airborne virus and one of the world’s most infectious diseases. It is important that international students get vaccinated at least two weeks before travelling to New Zealand. This allows time for the vaccine to build immunity.
For international students who are currently in New Zealand, it is important to know your vaccination status to know if you are immune. If you do not know your vaccination status, you may wish to ask someone at home to check with your healthcare provider.
It is extremely important to be up-to-date with measles immunisations. This protects the student, their community and anyone they may come into contact with – particularly small babies, pregnant women and others who cannot be vaccinated
One dose of MMR vaccine protects about 95 percent of people, and two doses protects about 99 percent of people. Two doses are necessary to prevent outbreaks.
It is important to note that the Ministry of Health is working closely with District Health Boards in New Zealand to manage the distribution of vaccine stock to ensure they are available to those who need them most. This means that first priority for MMR vaccinations is currently:
Auckland
- Ensuring all children receive their MMR vaccinations on time at 12 months and 4 years to maintain the national Childhood Immunisation Schedule
- Targeted community outreach managed by the three Auckland DHBs, namely groups who are most affected by the outbreak including 15-29 year olds and Pacific peoples within those groups.
Rest of New Zealand
- Ensure all children receive their vaccinations on time at 15 months and 4 years to maintain the national Childhood Immunisation Schedule
- Susceptible close contacts within 72 hours of first exposure to measles when possible.
Symptoms
Symptoms of measles include: a fever; cough; runny nose; sore and watery ‘pink’ eyes and a rash. People are contagious five days before and five days after the appearance of the rash, counting the day of rash onset as day one.
Advice if someone thinks they have measles:
- Stay away from work, school or public places
- Call Healthline on 0800 611 116, to inform them that you are experiencing symptoms of measles and that you may have come into contact with a measles case
- Cover your mouth and nose when coughing or sneezing and wash your hands frequently
- Minimise your contact with others to prevent infecting them
- Students should also make sure other people e.g. flatmates, friends, homestay families or hostel staff are aware they are unwell, so they can assist if needed.
Who shouldn’t get the vaccine?
You shouldn’t get immunised against measles if you:
- Are pregnant
- Have had an anaphylaxis reaction to MMR or are immunocompromised.
If a student thinks they have been exposed to measles and is unable to have the vaccine, they need to ask a doctor for advice.
Pregnant women who think they have measles, or have come in contact with someone with measles, must call their general practice or lead maternity carer as soon as possible. Pregnant women who were immunised against measles prior to becoming pregnant, are almost certainly protected.
More information
All international students must have medical insurance while they are in New Zealand. To find out more about healthcare in New Zealand for international students, go to NauMai NZ.

Around the world in five
Asia
While financially strained institutions in the U.S and UK reassess their models, Asia’s universities are reshaping global higher education, leveraging innovation and collaboration to address economic challenges. The shifting dynamics carry profound implications for how knowledge is produced, shared, and valued, raising the question of how it will ultimately redefine higher education worldwide.
Australia
The Department of Education in Australia has released six new guides and an overall framework to support innovative practice in international student engagement, covering areas such as mental wellbeing, community engagement, developing innovative programmes and supporting with accommodation.
Mexico
Study travel agents in Mexico are expecting a diversification of outbound trends in the year, while it is hoped that business to the traditional top destination of Canada will settle after a challenging year of policy changes and visa issues, according to delegates at the recent ST Alphe Secondary Focus Mexico City event.

Helen Clark highlights Kiwi strengths
Talking with NAFSA CEO, Dr Esther Brimmer, Ms Clark shared her experiences as recent Administrator of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), and memories of her time as New Zealand Prime Minister.
Kaylee Butters, ENZ’s Director, Student Engagement, said the event was a commanding display of New Zealand’s progressive and positive approach to social change, development and education.
“Diversity and inclusion were passionately discussed throughout the entire conference, and were brought to the fore again by Helen Clark at the luncheon.
“By highlighting New Zealand’s stability, democracy, multicultural heritage and our open, welcoming people, we can position New Zealand as a great place for international students, especially in the current climate of populist politics and global unease.”
At the end of the luncheon, the New Zealand delegation gathered to thank Ms Clark with a mihi and waiata, powerfully led by AUT alumni, Toiroa Williams and Atereano Mateariki.
Toiroa is interning at the Sundance Institute in Los Angeles as part of an AUT internship programme, and was thrilled to be a part of the New Zealand delegation.
“The entire conference was an amazing opportunity to be around people who are creating opportunities for students to study abroad and experience a new culture," said Toiroa.
“It makes me reflect on my own experience of being a young Māori from a rural community, and accessing Aotearoa’s education opportunities to end up in Los Angeles working in indigenous film.
“So the opportunity to share my experience with 'Aunty Helen' and the other attendees at NAFSA was amazing.”
