St Peter’s College, in Central Auckland, has provided quality education to international students since 1995 with a dedicated international department. We have qualified teachers specialising in teaching international students English.
St Peter’s has well-established links with a number of schools in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. Students come from a wide variety of countries and the College welcomes a mix of backgrounds. Limited number of students are accepted from outside New Zealand and no single country is permitted to dominate the international students’ group.
A full curriculum is offered covering a wide range of Sciences, Mathematics, Languages, Arts and other subjects from Years 7-13. The programme in the senior school is designed to be a pre-university course or to lead on to tertiary study in a polytechnic. Several foreign languages are available. Both NCEA (National Certificate of Educational Achievement) and CIE (Cambridge International Examination) are offered. Students are guided as to which pathway is their best choice.
The College is located in a central position in Auckland city, close to major bus routes and Grafton Train Station.
ENGLISH FOR SPEAKERS OF OTHER LANGUAGES.
Students attend the College as part of the wider school group whilst under the umbrella of the International Centre. Students are expected to have a basic understanding of English. However ESOL classes are available for those who need them. ESOL is taught in the International Centre while all other subjects are taken with their NZ peers in their subject classes.
School facilities include an excellent Library with on-line services, a Technology facility for those taking electronics, woodwork or IT, Science Laboratories, Computer Labs with audio-visual teaching aids, playing fields for sport and a new gymnasium. Music is very strong in the College and excellent opportunities are available for learning instruments, with free tuition, and performance. We also offer a wide range of sporting opportunities including Rugby, Tennis, Table Tennis, Cricket and Football.
Students planning to study at university are encouraged to enrol at St Peter’s for a minimum of two years to improve their competence in English. Applications will be accepted for Year 13 only if suited to the student and the College.
All students are required to have full medical and travel insurance. If insurance is arranged elsewhere, proof of insurance must be produced. If you have an accident while in New Zealand, you will be part-covered by the New Zealand Accident Compensation Corporation. Some medical costs may still apply.
International students are required to have a Student Visa (unless short-term) to be able to study in New Zealand. Please contact your agent for your Student Visa application. Alternatively, Mrs Vivienne Wu of our International Department is able to assist with you application.
