INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS

Hauraki Plains College is a small friendly school which offers a safe and supportive environment in which high standards of discipline are maintained and students are encouraged to care for each other and strive for excellence.
Hauraki Plains College has a long tradition of hosting and providing educational experiences for international students.  In order to maintain a high level of personal support and to ensure an 'authentic' New Zealand experience, the number of international students attending our school is limited. 
Hauraki Plains College provides an ideal opportunity for international students to experience New Zealand in a welcoming, focussed and secure atmosphere, while receiving a quality education. 		Int_students_tutor
