• Hundreds of Brazilian high school students arrive at New Zealand schools

  Over January and February, 200 students from Paraná and 100 from São Paulo arrived in New Zealand on a Brazilian state-funded scholarship that will have them spending a semester and term in New Zealand schools while staying with host families.  

  Chosen for their academic performance, attendance, and completion of an English course, these top students get a chance to immerse themselves in New Zealand's education system and culture. 

  New Zealand is considered a strategic partner by Paraná state and São Paulo. This programme highlights the success of increased educational cooperation between Brazil and New Zealand. In addition to improving English proficiency, the initiative also aims to develop intercultural skills.  

  Paraná's programme, launched in 2019, has sent 1,240 students to various countries, with more than 600 going to New Zealand.  

  Coordinator of the São Paulo programme, Simone Telles, said New Zealand was chosen for this programme due to our innovative education system, use of technology, the freedom given to students and the welcoming nature of New Zealanders.

• US roadshow sparks interest in New Zealand universities

  Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ), together with Victoria University of Wellington, Lincoln University, the University of Auckland, and the University of Otago recently completed a successful tour of high schools across Hawaii. The aim? To inspire local students to think of New Zealand not just as a beautiful place to visit, but as a world-class place to study. 

  Across a week-long series of classroom presentations, university fairs, and dedicated sessions for school counsellors, the New Zealand delegation engaged directly with more than 300 students and families and connected with 25 high school counsellors.

  Director of College Counseling at Le Jardin Academy, Scott Liedtke, said face-to-face conversations are powerful.

  “When New Zealand educators come to Hawaii, it helps demystify studying overseas. Students and families can ask questions directly about cost, safety and credit transfer, and hear answers from the source,” he said.

  ENZ also partnered with the New Zealand Consulate in Hawaii to host two events for local school counsellors. A breakfast at the New Zealand Chancery and a brunch at the Consul General’s residence allowed for deeper discussions and relationship-building within the education community.

  Dan Cairns, Administration Manager at the New Zealand Consulate, described the events as more than just informational.

  “Each gathering was designed to reflect different kaupapa, from celebrating international education to acknowledging our shared Polynesian connections – these moments created space to build people-to-people ties that go far beyond the classroom,” he said.

  The impact of the roadshow was immediate. Each of the attending universities reported that at least two students had begun applications to study in New Zealand.

  Director of Engagement, North America, DuBois Jennings said for ENZ, the roadshow represents a step towards long-term engagement in a region with shared cultural values.

  “The clear appetite for New Zealand study options, shows there is real value in continuing and expanding this mahi,” he said.

  Scott Liedtke echoed that sentiment. “New Zealand feels like a home away from home for many of our students. With its island lifestyle, cultural familiarity, and globally recognised education, it’s a natural fit,” he said.

  “Here in Hawaii, we say the ‘coconut wireless’ — word of mouth — is strong. Once a few students head to New Zealand and love it, that news spreads fast,” Scott added.

• Message from Amanda Malu, Chief Executive

  Tēnā tātou katoa,

  We have been deeply saddened to hear of the tragic death of Kyle Whorrall, an international student from Waipapa Taumata Rau, the University of Auckland over this Easter weekend.

  Kyle moved to New Zealand in 2021 from the United States as an international PhD student studying entomology in the university’s School of Biological Sciences.

  He is fondly remembered by family, friends and colleagues as a gentle, kind soul and a dedicated entomologist who was a rising young scientist in his field.

  Our thoughts and aroha remain with Kyle’s whānau and friends in the United States and New Zealand, and the wider community at the University of Auckland and Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research at this trying time.

  Ngā mihi nui,

  Amanda Malu

  Chief Executive
