Welcome International Students

Welcome to Our School
We warmly welcome you to our school community and are delighted that you are considering joining us as an international student. Choosing to study in a new country is an exciting step, and we are committed to ensuring you feel safe, supported, and truly connected from your very first day.

At our school, you will find a caring and inclusive environment where diversity is valued and relationships matter. We take pride in getting to know our international students as individuals, supporting both their learning and wellbeing, and helping them build friendships and a strong sense of belonging.

You will be encouraged to participate fully in school life — in the classroom, through sports and cultural activities, and within our wider community. Guided by our vision, Inspired Learners. Empowered to Achieve, we aim to help every student grow in confidence, achieve their personal best, and make the most of their time with us in Aotearoa New Zealand.

We look forward to welcoming you and sharing this learning journey together.
