Programme for International Students
The college offers a flexible curriculum designed to meet the learning needs of every student. Students are encouraged to study at appropriate academic levels rather than age-based levels.
Comprehensive programmes in ESOL offer special assistance at all levels. Students at Years 9 and 10 study in all of the essential learning areas. In the senior school international students are offered NCEA levels 1, 2 and 3, leading to university entrance.
Length of Course
It is recommended that students attend for 1 year or more. If students wish to gain university entrance they should attend for the whole of Years 12 and 13. Shorter periods of study are possible. Please enquire for details.
How to apply
The application form may be downloaded from the website, or the full prospectus and application form can be sent to you upon request. The application is available for reference in Korean and Chinese but students must apply on the English version, which is the true and legal version. The application form must be signed by the parents of the student, and designated caregiver (if known). Students must include verified copies of their school reports for the last 2 years plus a teacher’s reference letter.
The completed application form can be posted, emailed or faxed to the Director of International Students. Once the application has been received, the student or their nominee will be contacted and advised whether the application has been successful, as well as the procedure for payment of fees. Payment of fees must be made in order to procure an “Offer of Place”.
Pakuranga College is able to assist students with their application to Immigration New Zealand for the student visa/permit.
