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.

Tough Guy/Tough Gal Cross Country

11 May 2026

This Wednesday is our school cross country Tough Guy and Gal styles at Matamata College. Students come to school in their TGTG gear, it is important for safety that they have appropriate clothing and footwear. There are mud and water obstacles so clothing and shoes will get wet and dirty. All participants MUST wear covered shoes and we recommend a thermal t-shirt or long-sleeved top for the race and a full change of clothes and shoes as well as a towel for clean-up after the event. Back at school we will be having a non-uniform day (no charge), so students can bring warm clothing. We will get back to school for morning tea, students will probably be quite hungry so pack them extra food and drink. You are welcome to come and watch the race, the start/finish line is on the college field in front of the Open Country Stadium. The Y7 race starts at 9.30am and the Year 8 race at 10am.
