In August, a group of our English language learners enjoyed a trip to Hastings. The visit provided a valuable opportunity to experience local culture while further developing their language, literacy, and reading skills.

Accompanied by their tutors, the group visited Cupple, a local French bakery and café, where they practised their communication skills in a real-world setting. They also toured the Waiaroha Heretaunga Water Discovery Centre and Ngā Pou o Heretaunga, Civic Square, gaining insight into the region’s cultural history, community facilities, and services.

We hope everyone enjoyed an engaging learning experience as well as exploring Hastings.

Over the past few weeks, our visiting ZYU students have participated in an interactive programme combining English language and Computing studies with industry and cultural experiences.

Alongside their studies, the group explored a range of attractions in Hawke’s Bay and beyond. They also participated in organised events, including the Omron Automation Roadshow and an industry visit to T&G Global.

Through our homestay programme, the students had the opportunity to experience New Zealand family life and expressed their gratitude for the welcome they received.

At the end of their visit, everyone was awarded with a certificate of attendance to acknowledge the time they spent learning on campus.

Reflecting on the impact of the programme, Ethan shared:
“My three-week study tour at EIT in New Zealand has been an unforgettable experience. Our English teacher taught us with great care and responsibility during classes. We also visited local enterprises and the beautiful Lake Taupō. Everything in New Zealand feels full of lively energy, and I enjoyed life here, including time with my homestay family. Overall, this trip broadened my horizons and inspired me to keep learning. I am very grateful for all the help and support from every teacher”.

We wish you all the very best for your future endeavours and hope you will visit us again.

Why does a two-way relationship with China matter to Hawke’s Bay? 🌏

For EIT Chief Executive Lucy Laitinen, it is about much more than international education. It is about nurturing whanaungatanga, building lasting connections and creating opportunities that benefit the wider region.

Following her recent visit to China as part of a ministerial delegation, Lucy shares why Hawke’s Bay has plenty to offer on the global stage and why the strongest international partnerships work both ways. 🤝
