  • Auckland schools build relationships with education agents and schools in Japan

    For the first time, a group of 16 Auckland-based high schools collectively visited Japan.  

    Their aim? Engaging with education agents and local schools to explore building long-term relationships, develop student exchanges and promote study at primary and secondary schools in Auckland.  

    ENZ supported the delegation by hosting an event at the New Zealand Embassy in Tokyo for the school’s delegation to make local connections. Over 50 local education agents, schools and the New Zealand delegation were brought together to connect, share and learn from each other.

    Mount Roskill Grammar School International Director, Wendy Reid, said the visit showed what regions can achieve with a joined-up approach.  

    “It was a privilege to work with so many professional and knowledgeable Auckland schools, and continue to build relationships with our Japanese partners,” Wendy said. 

    Feedback from partners in Japan was also positive. Ritsumeikan Uji Junior and Senior High School English Head of Department, John Headon, said the regional approach to this engagement showcased New Zealand’s strength in community spirit.  

    “No matter which school you visit, there’s a strong sense of reassurance that the entire region will come together to support their students,” he said.   

    The participating schools were Auckland Grammar, Botany Downs Secondary College, Gulf Harbour School, Howick College, Maraetai Beach School, Massey High School, Mount Albert Grammar, Mount Roskill Grammar School, One Tree Hill College, Rosehill College, Sacred Heart College, St Mary’s College, St Peter’s College, Takapuna Grammar, Waitākere College and Waiuku College. 

    While in Japan, the Auckland school group maximised the opportunity by independently visiting other key regions, visiting partners and meeting with prospective families.  

    Since their return, the group of schools has been busy following up with the new and existing partnerships. 

  • Philippines roadshow showcases New Zealand’s premier ITP and PTE offering

    The roadshow showcased the strength and diversity of New Zealand’s Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITP) and Private Training Establishments (PTE) sub-sectors. 

    The roadshow brought together eleven New Zealand education providers: academyEX, NZSEG, Te Rito Maioha Early Childhood New Zealand, Ara Institute of Canterbury, Eastern Institute of Technology, NMIT, Southern Institute of Technology (SIT), Wintec, Future Skills, Auckland Institute of Studies and Otago Polytechnic. 

    A wide range of activities were held throughout the two-week programme, which included a media roundtable, agent seminars, school guidance counsellor workshops, and New Zealand Study Fairs.  

    These engagements helped to deepen education ties and raise awareness of New Zealand’s high-quality, hands-on tertiary education opportunities among Filipino students, parents, agents, and school representatives.

    The agent seminars in Manila and Chebu brought together agents who are eager to promote tertiary education in New Zealand to build connections with providers.  

    ENZ representatives provided a presentation on the latest official information on studying in New Zealand and resources for agents to promote New Zealand education. Immigration New Zealand (INZ) provided a recorded presentation on the latest visa information for the Philippines market.  

    In Manila, the education agent seminar attracted 37 attendees, while 11 agents participated in Cebu.  

    School engagement in the roadshow was also notable, with eight schools attending the school guidance counsellor workshop in Manila and 10 in Cebu. 

    ENZ Regional Director for Asia (excluding China), Ben Burrowes said this roadshow marks another exciting step in strengthening the education relationship between New Zealand and the Philippines. 

    “The strong turnout across all events and the enthusiastic engagement from agents, students, and school counsellors show there is a growing appetite for the quality education New Zealand offers,” he said. 

    “We’re proud to support our PTE and ITP partners in connecting with this key market, ENZ looks forward to building on this momentum in the coming months,” Ben added.
