Welcome to the International Department at Waitākere College. 

We are a friendly and supportive team where the wellbeing, safety and success of our students is our priority. 

The Waitākere Way is about: learning, caring, and respect, and our teachers and staff believe that every student can achieve no matter where they are from. We value the diversity and the rich culture international students bring to Waitākare College. 

The International team is committed to the growth and well-being of our students.  We do this by listening and supporting them, so that they can be the best version of themselves and have positive and life-changing experiences whilst studying at Waitākere College.

Outside of the classroom we encourage students to participate in a range of activities such as sporting and cultural activities where they can learn and develop new skills. 

We welcome students to come and study long-term or short-term as this gives the opportunity to learn, grow, travel and experience a different culture.
