🎓 Class of 2024 – Graduation Celebration 🎉

This year, we proudly celebrate 20 incredible graduates, including our very first cohort of distance learning students (Health Stream Programme) — a milestone in our school’s history!

Graduation is not the end — it’s a powerful new beginning. These 20 newly registered acupuncturists are now ready to serve and uplift the health and wellbeing of communities across Aotearoa New Zealand.

What makes this graduating class especially memorable is the bond they’ve built along the way. Through years of study, shared challenges, and growth, these classmates became more than just peers—they became family. Among them are two inspiring couples who journeyed through the programme together, supporting one another both educationally and spiritually. It’s been a privilege for our school to be a part of their story and to witness such powerful dedication.

Of course, behind every graduate stands the unwavering support of our brilliant faculty, the collective wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine, and the strength of an ancient healing tradition passed down through generations.

Learning such a specialised and often underrepresented form of healthcare is never easy. But these graduates have met every challenge with resilience, passion, and heart. As they step into the next chapter, we hope they continue to soar high, stay grounded, and carry forward not only the skills to heal others — but also the inner strength to heal themselves when challenges arise.

Here's to the Class of 2024 — you make us proud!
