During the week of 20th November, 43 students from Tsunan Secondary School in Japan visited us to get a taste of what life at Orewa College is like and also to share their own culture and language with our Year 9 and 10 students who are learning Japanese.
They loved Orewa Beach and also visited Eaves Bush and the Supermarket. They learned about NZ birds and did some mapping tasks. They visited their buddies' classes and joined in a year 10 PE class. They visited Year 8 classes to share their culture with items such as origami and wearing a kimono.

The International Students, who take New Zealand Experience, visited Auckland's iconic Rangitoto Island on Friday 18th August, as part of their course, learning about Auckland’s geology.
Students got the bus to Auckland City and then the Ferry to the Island. They climbed to the summit, stopping to explore the lava caves on the way.
The views from the top were stunning and worth the climb up!
