International Day

Aug 31, 2025 | 2025 Archive, Community Engagement, Events and Performances

On Wednesday we held an International Morning at North West College.

A haka workshop opened the day and brought everyone together, and we carried that energy through the morning.

Students then moved through four stations, thirty minutes each. There were Mandarin games and greetings, a South Africa session with short clips and a quiz, an Asia focus led by our student teacher, and a Pasifika craft table with Rowena. Students joined in and backed one another.

By half past twelve families arrived with shared plates. The tables filled with Dutch pancakes, koeksisters, pavlova, Scottish shortbread and a few Russian sweets. Students served each other, compared favourites, and enjoyed the company.

Thank you to every parent who sent food or came along, and to the staff and students who led sessions. The morning showed how well our community learns together. The full photo gallery is below.
