In January this year NZET facilitated a Study-Abroad group from St Olafs University in Minnesota focusing on business, innovation and entrepreneurship. With a combination of learning and tourism, Study-Abroad programmes are a great way for University students to gain credits for their respective school of study as well as broadening their horizons with an overseas experience rich in culture and amazing landscapes. We've catered to various faculties from this University and Study-Abroad programmes in New Zealand from the Unites States are becoming more and more polular.

We ask those who travel with us to follow this promise so that you too become a guardian acting to preserve our beautiful home, Aotearoa.

NZET is proud to be Sponsoring Lokie Aubrey from International at Tauranga Boys' College on his rugby trip to Argentina in August of this year. NZET works with teenagers from all over the world, so we are happy to be able to give one of our local lads a shot at an overseas experience he will never forget. Good luck mate!
This from Lockie: "I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous sponsorship towards my upcoming rugby tour to Argentina. Your support played a pivotal role in making this experience possible for my family and I. We are truly grateful for your commitment to our success.
Thanks to your sponsorship, I am able to embark on what is said to be an unforgettable journey filled with new experiences, growth and memorable moments. The opportunity to compete on an international stage in Argentina will not only broaden my horizons but also strengthen our bond as a team.
Beyond the rugby aspect, this experience in Argentina will allow me to immerse myself in new cultures, forge connections with other like-minded individuals and create lasting memories that will be with me forever.
I truly recognize the significance of your contribution and want you to know that it has made a profound difference towards my rugby journey. As we prepare to make our way on tour to Argentina, I take pride in knowing that I have had your full support in helping me to get there.
Once again, thank you for your unwavering support and belief in me. I am deeply grateful for your generosity and look forward to wearing your logo with pride as I take the pitch for TBC in South America. I have attached my individual tour photo and a photo of my training shirt with your sponsorship on it.
Kind regards,
Lokie Aubrey

One of the highlights for students on our South Island trips is the Jet Boat ride included in the tour. We run trips in all four seasons and the South Island offers a beautiful backdrop no matter what the weather is doing! As we like to say, 'There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing choices'. haha. Shotover Jet
