Orientation

Each new international student at St Paul’s has an orientation programme designed to help and guide them through their first few weeks of school.

• New students are taken on an initial tour of the school, meet their teachers and given an explanation of daily routines such as their timetable.
• Housemasters meet with the new student and explain daily routines and provide a ‘buddy’ to assist students on their first day.
• The Director of International Students meets regularly with the student during the first term and at least once a term.
• There is also a close liaison with house staff and homestay hosts to ensure students are adapting.
• Homestays are inspected prior to students moving in and are visited twice annually. Students are also visited in the boarding houses at least once a term.
