Later this year, we expect New Zealand to again welcome international students for study visits. These visitors to our school come from many other cultures and for varying lengths of time, with different goals, abilities and interests.

However, like any teenager far from home, they need a caring comfortable home life during their stay in order to enjoy their time at Waitakere College and make the most of their life experience opportunity.

We are now seeking applications from families living in the Waitakere College neighbourhood who may be in a position to host our overseas students. Families will receive support and training regarding compliance with the national Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students.

If you’d like to know more, please get in touch with the Director of International Students, Arifah Wright, via email in the first instance: [email protected].
