Virtual Meetings and Tours

After a successful trial we are offering students and families the opportunity to have hosted school tours with us! In essence, these are video calls via What’s app, Zoom, Skype etc. Students and their families have the chance to talk with International staff, get a tour of the school and (when available) have a chat with a current student from their country. Seeing the school facilities, classrooms and the students can be really interesting and parents have appreciated being able to talk with the people who will be responsible for their child.

School organised trips

To help you, we arrange a series of trips during the school year to amazing parts of our country. 

Coromandel

Our trip to the Coromandel is a part of our amazing End-of-Year Program. For many of our students this trip is the absolute highlight of their time at our school.

Bay of Islands

On our Bay of Islands trip we go sand boarding, take a dolphin cruise and see the largest Kauri tree in the world. This amazing trip is a great way to showcase some of the things that make New Zealand special!

Rotorua

Rotorua is a great way to showcase the best of traditional Māori culture. Students get to learn the haka, eat a hangi, and enjoy the signature sights (and smells) of “Roto-Vegas”!

Past students’ successes

Our past students not only succeed in traditional ways, they’re changing the world.

Dan Cullum and his friends are on a quest to travel the length of the second longest river in the USA on a boat made from recycled and reclaimed materials. Their goal is to produce a documentary. Its purpose is to follow the challenges of a journey on trash, to unearth the reason behind why the Mississippi River is one of the most polluted in the world, and to tell the story of how local communities along the river have been affected by its pollution and their efforts to clean and restore it.
