International Student Leaders

Hi. Please call me Pie. I have been at Bethlehem College for five years and right now I’m in Year 12. As I have been in New Zealand for several years, I have learned the problems that many international students are likely to face. I have also gained many new experiences that are fun and worthwhile. I would like to use these experiences to help international students who are struggling with any problems and to make sure that they can have fun to the best of their ability.

Hi! I’m a Taiwanese boy born in Beijing, China. I speak Mandarin, English and Japanese. I studied in BC for almost 3 years now and I believe coming to New Zealand is one of the best choices I (or my parents) have made in my life. By coming to BC it has inspired my potential and my attitude to life in many dimensions. And the big International family definitely takes a very important role in my transformation. I LOVE meeting people from all over the world and learn something from their culture and maybe even their language (And I did!). I have edited the International yearbook for the past 2 years and I love making videos of our international students having fun in the best year/s of their lives! I like snowboarding and filmmaking. My name is Simon Hsieh, and I am your International Captain of 2013 J Let’s enjoy the year that we won’t forget!
