We were excited to welcome four new international learners to Dio for the start of Term 3. Our new learners Nano, Wynes, Helen and Selina are in Years 10 and 11 and are from Thailand, Hong Kong and China.

This is the first time International learners have been able to enter New Zealand with the recent reopening of our borders. Welcoming our new learners into our boarding house has created a new sense of community within boarding life.

After the effects of Covid, normality is returning to the daily social lives of our international learners. School trips, events, activities and dinners have begun to happen regularly again. This is a refreshing time as these fun and exciting experiences give our international learners the full experience of school life at Dio and opportunities to form friendships.
