We are thrilled to announce that at the start of Term 3, Hauraki Plains College are hosting 30 visiting students from South Korea for an exciting three-week cultural exchange.
The students will be immersed in both school life and our local community until the end of Week 3. During their stay, they will be paired up with HPC student buddies to experience life in a New Zealand high school. They will also be participating in a wide range of Kiwi experiences outside the classroom, including golf, lawn bowls, music lessons, and local trips around the region.
This is an incredible, unique opportunity for our school community to foster global connections and share our vibrant culture.

Congratulations Ms Isbister!!New Zealand wins big at the International Biology Olympiad 🥈🥉
We are incredibly proud of our four students who competed at the International Biology Olympiad in Vilnius, Lithuania, over the past week. All four of our students achieved medals, cementing their place amongst the world's best young biologists!
The results are as follows:
● Nichole Luo (Macleans College) – Silver Medal
● Ericsson Ye (Christ’s College) – Silver Medal
● Alex Brinkworth (Central Southland College) – Bronze Medal
● Luan Peterle (King’s High School) – Bronze Medal
The team was led by Mr Aaron Hewson (University of Otago) and Ms Michelle Isbister (Hauraki Plains College). Their results reflect the calibre of New Zealand’s science education and the commitment of the NZIBO programme to developing future scientific leaders.
This medal sweep further cements New Zealand’s reputation as a top-performing nation in
international biology and continues our 22-year medal-winning streak at the IBO.
The NZIBO Committee extends its sincere thanks to Science OlympiaNZ for their financial support enabling the students to travel to Lithuania, and to the University of Otago for their
support of the 2026 training camp.
