New Zealand Delegation Visits Raffles International College

On Wednesday, October 9, 2024, Raffles International College welcomed a special delegation from New Zealand. The visit was led by Nathan Rahui, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Māori at the University of Waikato, along with other representatives. The purpose of their visit was to explore potential collaborations with Raffles, particularly in the field of fashion design.
 
The meeting, held in the presence of our FMM Programme Director, Mike Vancoillie, and Fashion Programme Director, Miriam Varghese, allowed us to showcase the unique fashion programmes at Raffles. During the discussion, our team introduced the delegation to stunning student fashion collections, highlighting the creativity and innovation fostered at our college through our international environment. Ideas for collaboration were exchanged, opening doors to exciting opportunities.
Following the event, the New Zealand guests enjoyed a campus tour. They visited our state-of-the-art facilities, which of course, they found very impressive. This tour allowed them to see at firsthand the resources and environment our students benefit from, illustrating our commitment to providing a world-class education. It sparked interest in how both institutions can collaborate to enhance educational experiences and cultural exchange for students.
 
The visit was a fruitful exchange of ideas and has set the stage for potential partnerships between Raffles and the University of Waikato. We look forward to developing meaningful connections and are excited about the possibilities this collaboration could bring to our students and faculty.
