International flavour to Kiwi Christmas

Sunday 12th December 2021

Our international students, host families and staff gathered together to celebrate another Christmas in New Zealand.


We had a wonderful and well attended Christmas function for the international students, international parents living in Dunedin and homestay families on Monday evening.

This event was held to acknowledge the resilience of the international boys who have not been able to travel home for nearly 24 months. Many of the international parents who have remained in New Zealand to support their son’s education have also been separated from spouses, family and their home country.

We also wished to thank the amazing homestay families who have provided such a warm and caring home. The hosts and boys have developed such a strong connection and have enriched each other's lives by sharing their cultures.
