New Zealand Schools' Story
New Zealand provides a safe, friendly environment for international students from all over the world to pursue their academic goals. Parents know that New Zealand gives their children opportunities they would not have had at home and the chance to develop passions in a supportive environment.
Welcome from the International Department
Lynda Sullivan, Director of International Students
"Over the years I have seen many students come to New Zealand with different goals and it has been my pleasure to be involved and support them through their journey.
Many of our international students attend Rangitoto College to study our high school programme to gain entry onto tertiary study through either the NCEA or IB pathways. Rangitoto College provides an excellent academic environment for them to be successful in their chosen academic pathway. It is pleasing to see our students gaining entry into some of the top universities in the world following their education at Rangitoto.
Some students come to New Zealand for only a short time with different goals – to learn, grow, travel and experience a new culture. These students often choose different subjects like Dance, Construction or Photography and enjoy participating in a range of sports and activities. We work closely with some carefully chosen tour companies and help our students find the right trips for their weekends and holidays so they happy an opportunity to see as much of New Zealand as they can.
Living overseas gives our students a much wider world view and often helps them decide what they really want out of life. The international team here is proud to be part of their experience in New Zealand and work hard to make it the best it can be.
I would like to welcome you to come and experience life in New Zealand while continuing to study towards your long term academic goals.”
Students love New Zealand because of the friendly people, natural beauty and excellent education system. New Zealand is a great place to get outdoors and try new adventure sports and activities.
