🎭 Ppuppenmam Puppet Theatre from Korea 🎭

We were honoured to welcome the famous Korean puppet theatre Ppuppenmam to New Zealand for a special performance.
They presented “The Adventure of Jumeok-i,” a heartwarming story about a small child who travels around the world, discovering courage and wonder along the way.

The children truly enjoyed this delightful show, filled with creativity, laughter, and imagination.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude once again to Ppuppenmam Puppet Theatre for bringing such a meaningful performance all the way from Korea. 🇰🇷✨

🎉 Waikato Korean School 30th Anniversary Celebration 🎉

Waikato Korean School proudly celebrated its 30th anniversary this year with a meaningful and joyful event.
Students, parents, and members of the local community gathered together to reflect on the school’s long journey and to celebrate its dedication to Korean language and culture education.

The festival featured a variety of performances, exhibitions, and hands-on activities that showcased both traditional and modern aspects of Korean culture.
Thanks to the many guests who came to celebrate with us, the event became even more special and heartwarming.

Waikato Korean School will continue to support our students in cherishing their Korean roots and identity, while growing confidently as global citizens in Aotearoa New Zealand and beyond. 🇰🇷✨

We had a water gun play event at the Korean school. Since the children had been looking forward to it, everyone had a great time, and the event ended safely without any incidents. The water gun play is an annual event at the Korean school, aimed at providing cool refreshment and relieving stress.

Waikato Korean School is now accepting enrolments for adult learners interested in improving their Korean skills. If you are interested or would like more information, please contact us at [email protected].

In anticipation of the upcoming Chuseok holiday next month, we engaged in various traditional games today. The event culminated in a tug-of-war, where even the students' parents participated. In the end, the Blue Team emerged victorious. A big thank you to all the students for giving their best effort and finishing the event without any injuries.

We are delighted to share some excellent news. At the New Zealand speaking competition, two students from the Waikato Korean School have been awarded. Student Ko Kyeol won third place, while Student Hwang Yu-na received the Special Award from the Director of the Korean Education Centre. Please join me in giving a big round of applause to these students who have given their best effort.

Today, we conducted an earthquake drill. New Zealand is a country prone to earthquakes, making such drills essential. The teachers instructed us on how to respond in the event of an earthquake. It's best if such incidents never occur.

Today, we had a day full of fun activities. We started with a treasure hunt, followed by snacks at the Angel’s House, and concluded with a water gun fight. We would like to express our gratitude to all the parents who donated items for today’s event.

In 2023, the Waikato Korean School will be entering its holiday period. The last day was marked with various events. These included a Swap Market, a group photo session, food-making activities by the Goryeo and Chosun classes, as well as a holiday and award ceremony. Most importantly, 2023 marks the end of our time at Wintec, as we move to a new home. We look forward to seeing everyone healthy and well in 2024.
