Education NZ Conference Recently Maureen and Cleve - the 2 owners of Worldwide School - visited Wellington for the Education New Zealand Conference. There were many interesting presentations but also speeches from 2 very important Government Ministers. The Minister of Education and The Minister of Immigration. In terms of impacts on international students there were a couple and they were basically all good news. Please read more below.

Worldwide School is an AUT Agent 
As a reminder for those that don't know - Worldwide School is also an agent for AUT University. This means that if you have students for AUT but are not an agent we can submit the application on your behalf. If the student studies at least 12 weeks at Worldwide School we will pass 100% of the AUT agent commission back to you. If the student studies less than 12 weeks or not at all then we will still submit the application but will share the commission with you. If you have more questions please do not hesitate to ask. Double Trouble Party As usual we held our annual Double Trouble costume party and as usual staff and students had some great costumes. Remember every 2 months we hold our themed costume parties as part of our social and activity programme. 






Maureen & Cleve visit Myanmar After 24 years as friends and business partners Maureen and Cleve have NEVER been on an overseas trip together. Well that changed in late August when both decided to make an exploratory marketing trip to Myanmar to analyse the potential business opportunities in that country. It still has a way to go - but we did really enjoy the sights, sounds and TASTES! Of Yangon...
