Haere mai, a very warm Roncalli welcome to our new international students starting this term from Germany and Japan!

After 2.5 years of a closed border, it is lovely to be welcoming back students from overseas. The presence of international students at Roncalli College enriches the College community and we value this cultural diversity.

Our international students choose Roncalli College and New Zealand for many reasons including new experiences, culture, friendships, and global perspective. It helps students develop skills such as intercultural communication, English and Māori languages, adaptability, and problem- solving.

For our Roncallians, staff, and host families, it is an opportunity to learn about other countries, cultures, and global citizenship, while making friends for life.

We wish our new students a wonderful time at Roncalli College and in New Zealand. We hope you make lots of happy memories and friendships.
