As we reach the end of the term, it is with a mix of sadness and gratitude that we say goodbye to some of our International Students who are departing to return to their home countries.

It has been a privilege to have these students as part of our school community this term. Whether in the classroom, on the sports field, or during weekend adventures exploring the beauty of Otago, they have brought a wonderful global perspective and vibrant energy to our school.

Sora Koike, Yuri Takashima, Nina Ikeda, Shu Takeno, Yae Maeda, Tamako Honda, Isabelle Kuelzer, Mirjam Vogel, Catalina Flamarique Musso and Erika Moriya we have truly enjoyed every moment of your time with us. We hope you take home not only improved English and new skills but also lifelong friendships and cherished memories of your "New Zealand home."

Safe travels on your journey! Please make sure to keep in touch and let us know where your future adventures take you—and remember, you are always welcome back to visit us here at Otago Girls'.
