Marian College

Today we welcomed students from Toho High School - our sister school in Nagoya, Japan. Our International Committee students took great pride in showing the students around, dancing, making bracelets, playing pickleball and learning a bit of Japanese. They quickly discovere '6-7' is a universal language amongst students all over the world!
This is the 29th year this exchange has happened! We look forward to seeing friendships being made between the two schools this week.

Congratulations to Marian College alum Lauren Sheere who has been selected to represent New Zealand at the 2026 Trampoline World Championships in Nanjing, China in November. Well done Lauren!
