While our International team loves to have dinner at Koji Japanese restaurant in Invercargill, we do not love it when it is for a student's farewell.

It is time to farewell Ruka and Kaya as they head back to Hikaroigoka School in Nagoya, Japan.Hikaroigoka is a sister school to St Peter's College and has been since 1997!

Students come for 12 months—April to March—and are always studious, enthusiastic, kind, and caring members of our school community. They are always keen to try everything and go everywhere.

Ruka and Kaya received their leaving certificates from Mr Udy as well as gifts, including a St Peter's medal and a personalized photobook of their time with us.

Safe travels, Ruka and Kaya! We look forward to following your life journey from here.

Our new students will arrive shortly to start their year at SPC, and Ruka and Kaya will meet with them before their departure to NZ to share their experiences and what to expect!
