On Wednesday the College hosted the Cuban ambassador to New Zealand, Mr Mario Alzugaray, together with his wife Elizabeth and son Mauricio. Ambassador Alzugaray was welcomed to our assembly by Mayor Gary Kircher and Mr Olsen. Anna Craig shared some images of their trip to Cuba in April and spoke eloquently about the many places visited and people the travellers had the privilege of meeting. Mr Alzugary addressed our students and highlighted the commonality of the people of our two countries. He shared some thoughts about his time in New Zealand and encouraged students to travel to his country.
Later, the ambassador along with the mayor officially opened the exhibition at the Redcastle.
The ambassador presented to our students a painting for the College collection.
Thank you to Mrs Michelle Buckham and your team for organising this superb event.
