We had an incredible visit from 8 boys of De La Salle College, Auckland! From 12th to 19th April, they stayed with our amazing host families, immersing themselves in our community and creating unforgettable memories.
During their time with us, they had the opportunity to sit in our lessons, gaining insights into our educational system and fostering connections with our students. They also embarked on a delightful gastronomic adventure, trying the flavors of our local cuisine and expanding their culinary horizons. To embrace our vibrant traditions, they enthusiastically participated in the exhilarating lion dance, experiencing the energy and artistry behind this captivating performance.
We made sure to showcase the beauty of our surroundings by taking them to witness the stunning harbour view, where they were mesmerised by the picturesque scenery. Throughout their stay, they fully immersed themselves in our local culture, engaging in various activities that deepened their understanding and appreciation of our way of life.
We are grateful for the visit of these boys from De La Salle College, Auckland, and the meaningful connections that were forged. The memories created during their stay will forever be treasured, and we are looking forward to visiting them in Auckland soon.

The Health and Environmental Promotion Team and the Geography Department, in collaboration with The Conservancy Association, are proud to have hosted a recent sharing session with our Outstanding COP28 Ambassador, Paolo Chung, on 30 April. Paolo recently attended the prestigious COP28 Conference in Dubai from 30 November to 13 December 2023 and shared his invaluable insights with our Form 1 students.
In his inspiring speech, Paolo shared his transformative experience, highlighting the importance of stepping out of our comfort zones to embrace challenges that can lead to significant achievements. He encouraged everyone to dare to dream and aspire to greatness, regardless of their backgrounds.
Join us in celebrating Paolo's remarkable journey and let his words motivate and ignite the fire within our boys to dream big and impact the world positively.
Special thanks to The Conservancy Association, the Health and Environmental Promotion Team, and the Geography Department for organising this impactful talk.
The 2nd Annual Book Month was held to promote a love of reading as well as to celebrate World Book Day. There was a book fair with multiple publishers offering attractive discounts to students, allowing them to explore their literary passions and expand their personal libraries.
To enhance the experience, Language Panels worked together to organise a variety of interactive reading activities which were a hit with students! The immersive experience was met with positive feedback from our boys.
Hopefully this renewed passion for reading can continue to grow in the boys and carry into their future.
