Rongotai Welcomes Chinese Premier to New Zealand


Rongotai College recently had the honour of welcoming the Chinese Premier, Mr Li Qiang to New Zealand as part of the official Government House. Around 40 boys, made up of Prefects and the Kapa Haka group performed the school haka.

 

Head Prefect (Nysi Soulis), Kapa Haka leader TJ Robinson and Principal Mr Kevin Carter had the very special honour of meeting Mr Li Qiang and New Zealand Prime Minister, Mr Christopher Luxon, and briefly talking with them.

It was a great occasion and a fantastic effort from the boys – the feedback has been extremely positive and our school community is  proud of the boys involved!


Of course, Li Qiang is not the only high ranking Chinese official we have welcomed to New Zealand. In 2014, we also welcomed the Chinese President  Xi Jinping  to New Zealand.
