INTERNATIONAL DAY 2024
Always a day of festive and cultural fun, this year is no exception, even if it did rain - a lot! Well done to all students who got into the spirit of International Day and wore something that reflected a culture from around the world. And a big congratulations to all who worked hard to put on the annual Cultural Concert and organised the food stalls. What a great big team effort it is!

RECENT NEWS
TOP DESIGN STUDENT
Last year, Rafabelle Bastida finished her Year 13 Design folio with an amazing result - having her final Design board selected to be part of the annual NZQA Top Art Exhibition 2024 (see an example of her work below). Top Art is an annual touring exhibition featuring a selection of NCEA Level 3 portfolios that achieved Excellence in Visual Arts in the previous year. It tours the entire country, so it is great that one of our BC students has work being seen far and wide. Click here to see the Design section of the exhibition - Rafabelle's work is 10th, so just click through using the NEXT button on the left.
A.T. FARE CHANGES
On 30 April 2024, free weekday travel on bus, train and ferry services for children ages 5 to 12 and half-price fares for ages 13 to 24 will end. Click here for full information and fare changes and to see if you still qualify for a discount.
INTERNATIONAL HOST FAMILIES NEEDED
Birkenhead College is seeking local families to host International Students.
We are looking forward to hosting overseas students once again at the school. An integral part of their NZ stay is to live with a local family and participate in family life, which is an important aspect of the total student experience.
International students also offer valuable cultural interaction for you and your family - many families have made lifelong friends as a result of hosting!
Host families are asked to provide a room, three meals a day, Wi-Fi connection and to assist with transport from time to time, for which $300 per week will be paid. All members of the household aged 18 years and older are required to complete a Police Vet check via the school.
If you would like to know more, please contact: Nataliya Novak or phone 09 483 9039, Ext 838
