Getting Ready for China!
Today, we held the pre-departure meeting for the Principals Delegation Trip to China at Pembridge House. It was great to have 12 delegates from 10 schools join us for this session!
We covered essential travel tips and an overview of China’s education system to help everyone prepare. A huge thank you to Alistair 孔思达, Executive Director, and Summer 夏露, Assistant Director from NZCC, for sharing their insights on the NZ-China relationship, trade, and education partnerships. Their perspectives gave everyone a deeper understanding of what to expect on this exciting journey.
We also had a special session with our Fudan teacher, Yu, who taught some useful Mandarin greetings—perfect for making connections in China! 🗣️🇨🇳
The buzz in the room was undeniable—our delegates are eager and ready to explore China during the term break! ✈️🌆

MLA 2025 Orientation Week Recap 🎉
Our 2025 MLA Orientation Week has come to an end! Throughout last week, this year’s cohort immersed themselves in New Zealand’s indigenous culture, picked up some Kiwi English, and gained valuable insights into their upcoming roles in local schools.
By the final day, these young educators—new to both the country and the experience—felt more confident about settling into life in Aotearoa, connecting with Kiwi families, and, most importantly, stepping into their roles as language teaching assistants.
We can’t wait to see the positive impact they’ll make in schools across wider Auckland! Wishing them all a fantastic year ahead! 🌟🏫 #MLA2025 #OrientationWeek
