ALUMNI STORIES
Recent Catch-Ups Around the World

The three of us first crossed paths in 2002 at International Pacific College (IPC) in Palmerston North, New Zealand. Living in the same dorm and studying side by side, we built a bond that quickly became like family. For three years, until our graduation in 2005, our days were filled with lectures, late-night chats, laughter, and memories that would carry us far beyond campus life.
Recently, a work trip brought us together in Sydney. With the iconic Harbour Bridge as our backdrop, we caught up as if no time had passed at all. The laughter, warmth, and comfort of being around each other reminded us that true friendships do not fade with time or distance. They simply grow deeper.
Our IPC bond has stood the test of time, and this Sydney reunion was a celebration of that enduring connection. Just like back in Palmerston North, it felt like home.
