Information for International Students

 Academic Programme
Tokomairiro High School welcomes all international students from Year 7 to Year 13. Our comprehensive range of courses prepares those students who wish to go into tertiary education. Students are able to work towards qualifications leading to National Certificate in Education Achievement (NCEA) Level One, Two and Three depending upon ability and age. For most courses the assessment is through internally assessed Unit Standards or Achievement Standards which are assessed both internally and externally. These qualifications are the basis for entry into tertiary education.


Accommodation
Tokomairiro High School will arrange homestays. Our homestay families are carefully selected and provide a high standard of care. Out international students are met at Dunedin Airport. Our international Student Co-ordinator will maintain regular contact with students to ensure they are being well looked after. Our homestays are assessed to Ministry of Education Code of Practices Standard.

Academic Year
The Academic Year is from late January until early December with four terms. Students can enrol at any time during the school year but may no be eligible for any qualification if they do not complete the majority of the academic year.

International Student Welfare
Tokomairiro High School welcomes all international students. Our International Student Co-ordinator supervises the programmes and welfare of all students. With small class sizes in our school, teachers know all the students and follow their progress individually. Regular reports on the welfare and progress of students are provided to parents and guardians.

English Language Support
For our International Students we offer high quality tuition in speaking English, both with a fully qualified ESOL tutor and through an immersion focus, International students also have access to IELTS tuition and are encouraged to sit IELTS exams. Each course is individually developed to suit the student's needs.
