Overview

Events and Activities programme aims to support personal growth and development of all students. All the activities and events are organised to achieve better interaction and understanding among people from different cultures. In addition, the events and activities focus on assisting to develop traits such as improved English skills, independence, creativity, confidence and problem solving. Opportunities are provided to all students to participate in a wide range of cultural events, activities, sports and hobbies, both on campus and in the wider community. Activities are held not only in the local community but also in neighbouring communities and in places far from Palmerston North. The distant trips and activities tend to be planned during the College break weeks.

As these activities are for the benefit of students it is important for students to clearly state to the events and activities team what value they obtained from each activity. The success of Events and Activities relies on active engagement in English, co-operation and participation by students, staff and the wider community. Events and activities provide a real opportunity for students to speak English, learn about New Zealand culture and increase their confidence levels. The College staff will focus on supporting the students to achieve their own personal growth goals through active participation in events and activities.
