Rosa Hibbert-Schooner (Y11) won the Regionals of the Race Unity Speech Contest. Her 7 minute speech entitled ‘Stand Up For Race Unity’ sends her through to Auckland for the Semi Finals in April.

Summer Rutherford (Y13) represented Canterbury in the U18 women’s category at the New Zealand Track & Field Champs held in Dunedin early in March.

She had a fantastic weekend, achieving 3 Silver medals: 100m hurdles; 300m hurdles and Canterbury 4x100m relay; 4th place in long jump and she was also a finalist in the 100m Sprint!

The International College started this year with our first ever Orientation camp for all new pupils.  Camp was held at Living Springs with lots of fun and activities, including the orienteering course.

We also held a couple of BBQs, celebrating Chinese New Year with a lunch time sausage sizzle and a very successful family BBQ at the beginning of March.  

Each Year 9 class spent two and a half days at Mount White over the weeks of March  

The camp begins with a walk through Cave Stream in varied degrees of cold and water velocity, depending on the weather. Camp is a wonderful opportunity for developing friendships and unity within the classes. 

Held at Westminster Park on March 19, our 33 strong Pasifika Cultural Group performed Samoan and Tongan and dances to thousands of people. All thanks to our tutors Pana Soli and Lisa Akauola and the committed group
