The Director of International Students is available to provide help and guidance with both school-related and personal aspects of the student's stay in New Zealand, including choice of subjects, orientation to a new school and a new environment, providing 'buddies' for new students and arranging social evenings for International students and their host families.

English Language Entry Requirements
Copies of the most recent school reports must be sent to us for translation. It is preferred that students have an intermediate level of English. Students will be offered additional English language classes as needed and may be sent to an Intensive English language school to undertake a Secondary School Preparation course if this is deemed necessary. All students are tested on entry and are placed appropriately at a level at which they can best achieve success.
English Language Support
Intensive English tuition by experienced qualified staff is offered at all levels. There is no extra charge for this tuition which will continue for as long as the student needs it. In-class support is provided in some subjects with specialist vocabularies.
