Housemasters of boarding and day houses are also available for assistance and contact is welcomed and encouraged

Growth through Understanding

With the world becoming increasingly smaller, the value of a St Paul’s education and the reciprocal value of our New Zealand students learning from International Students are immeasurable.
St Paul’s welcomes the opportunity to have a number of International Students amongst its student body at all levels, either as boarders or day students in homestay accommodation.

We believe in the importance of traditional values such as honesty, respect, care and understanding. We provide a safe and secure environment where students can concentrate on their learning and develop their individual talents.

All International Students need to have a basic understanding of English. Students in Years 11 to 13 need to be able to work at approximately Intermediate level or higher. ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Lan-guages) support and tuition is available at all levels for those who need it.

Students may start at any stage during the year but we prefer senior students to start at the beginning of the academic year (February) if possible.

All International Students come under the pastoral care of the Director of International Students.

Environment and History

The School enjoys an excellent reputation for its emphasis on high academic achievement, reflected in its annual NCEA and Scholarship results, along with a parallel focus on the development of the cultural, spiritual and sporting lives of the students. St Paul’s Collegiate School welcomes the admission of boys from Years 9 to 13 and for girls Years 11 to 13.
