secondary directory 2017/18

his directory demonstrates the wide range of secondary education opportunities available to international students who are seeking excellence in education in a variety of subjects. The secondary education providers listed in this directory are all Code of Practice signatories (see page 11: Care of international students), which means they have staff to assist their students with all aspects of New Zealand life. The information in this directory was correct at the time of printing. Information on courses and costs change over time, and updated editions of this directory are published every 12 months. The course options and academic programmes outlined in this directory have been confirmed by the institution as available to international students at

the time of printing. However, to avoid disappointment, enquiries should be made to authorised placement agencies or directly to the institution concerned. In addition, if you choose to study in a New Zealand institution, it is important to check course approval status with NZQA and cost details with the institution at the time of application. We also encourage you to refer to the Study in New Zealand student website www.studyinnewzealand.com for more information about institutions, courses, and the New Zealand lifestyle. Fees quoted, unless otherwise stated, are per annum. Where courses run for less than one year, the price stated is the total course fee. All fees and costs quoted, unless otherwise stated, are inclusive of goods and services tax (GST) and are in New Zealand dollars.

Why choose to study in

New Zealand? Around 100,000 international students live and study in New Zealand every year. Why? Because New Zealand has so much to offer, including world-class schools and universities, a safe and friendly environment, and natural wonders seen nowhere else in the world. From the deep, clear lakes and valleys of Fiordland to the sparkling waters of the Far North beaches, this country is a place of great beauty.

ew Zealand is also a fabulous place to learn and practice English. Our largest city, Auckland, is a multicultural metropolis of fine dining, nightlife, good shopping, and every modern convenience. The nation’s capital, Wellington, is a vibrant hub for the arts and café culture – there are more cafés per capita in Wellington than there are in New York – so you will have many opportunities to hone your conversational skills! The South Island’s Christchurch is recovering from the earthquakes that ravaged the city and is now bouncing back with innovative architecture, vibrant community spirit, and a new zest for life. Regional cities include Hamilton, Dunedin, Tauranga, Nelson, and New Plymouth. Though smaller, these cities offer a wide range of cultural and rural experiences. Here in New Zealand, we’re passionate about sport, and while you’re here you’ll be able to partake in everything from rugby to sailing, and cricket to bungy jumping. Cultural pursuits are important to New Zealanders too, and art, music, dance and film-making all thrive in both the regional and main centres. New Zealand has consistently ranked near the top in the Global Peace Index, and placed second in 2016. Kiwis have a proud reputation as friendly and laid-back people, and you will feel welcome and safe here. New Zealand’s education system is consistently ranked amongst the best in the world. Our schools offer a safe learning environment and a deep and rich education experience. Schools use the world-leading New Zealand Curriculum. The National Certificate of Educational Achievement programme (NCEA) is New Zealand’s main national qualification for secondary students in Years 11–13, and some secondary schools provide other qualification options, such as the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) or International Baccalaureate (IB). A New Zealand education will give you an international advantage because qualifications gained here are recognised all around the world. All the institutions listed in this guide are approved and have signed the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students in New Zealand. This means that each institution must provide adequate care for students, both inside and outside the classroom. Each institution can also give you details about how studying with them in New Zealand can work for you.

We look forward to welcoming you to New Zealand secondary directory 2017/18

About New Zealand New Zealand is geographically about the same size as Japan or Great Britain. The countryside is unique and spectacular, from rolling green hills to golden sand beaches, to barren volcanic plateaux and lush rainforests, all within a few hours’ drive.

ew Zealand has just 4.7 million people, known affectionately as ‘Kiwis’, who are easy-going, casual, warm and welcoming to their neighbours and those who travel to experience all that is New Zealand. New Zealanders travel overseas a lot (when you live 2,000 kilometres from your nearest neighbouring country, you have to travel a bit!) and this means they are well used to a range of cultures. New Zealand itself is a multicultural nation, with a fusion of Māori (the original settlers in New Zealand), Pacific Island, European, and Asian people combining to make a vibrant and colourful society. The official languages are English, te reo Māori, and New Zealand Sign Language, although many other languages are spoken by individual cultural groups. The climate in New Zealand is temperate, with relatively mild, wet winters, with temperatures between 8 and 15°C, and warm, dry summers where temperatures range from 20 to 30°C. The summer months are December, January, and February and the winter months are June, July, and August. The North Island is warmer than the South Island; however, the Southern Alps have world-renowned ski fields. The cost of living in New Zealand is similar to Australia and less than in Britain. The list below gives an idea of the costs of some well-known items. Many shops and services in New Zealand offer a student discount and some institutions offer student cards that entitle their students to discounts on and off campus. Home-based internet (at your institution, it will usually be free!): plans from $55 per month. Mobile plan: from $19 per month. Meal out: from $10. Movie at the cinema: $10–$16. Free local phone calls from a home phone. Cup of coffee at a café: $5. Domestic air travel: $49–$200. Shops in New Zealand are open from Monday through to Saturday, with a large number also open on Sundays. Shopping hours are from 8.30am to 5.30pm with a ‘late night’ shopping night once or twice a week, where shops may be open until 9pm. On Saturday and Sunday, shopping hours vary, from opening later and closing earlier, to those that close at 1pm.

What international students say about New Zealand* 94% of international students studying at secondary and composite schools (aged 16 years and over) in New Zealand were either happy or very happy with their experience. 94% were happy with the overall support that they had received from their school. 89% of students were happy with the choice of subjects on offer at their school. 76% of international students would recommend their school to others thinking of applying. Opportunity to improve language skills by studying in an English speaking country (96%), feeling safe (94%) and how people would behave towards them as an international student (90%) were important when selecting which school to study in. These were followed by academic reputation of the school (87%) and opportunity to go to a university or other school in another country (85%). 92% were happy or very happy with their living arrangements in New Zealand. Students were happy or very happy with: opportunities to make friends from other countries (95%); relationships with their homestay families (94%); help from homestay families on issues other than study (93%); quality of accommodation (92%); and quality of food (91%). 40% were looking to stay in New Zealand when they finished their studies and 42% planned to return to their home countries. *Source: 2012 i-graduate survey (on behalf of New Zealand Ministry of Education) of 1,871 international students in New Zealand aged 16 years and over.

About New Zealand secondary schools N

ew Zealand secondary schools (often referred to as high schools, grammar schools, or colleges) are almost all state-owned, being funded by the New Zealand Government. However, a small percentage of schools are private (independent) or integrated (half statefunded). Private schools operate outside the state system and are often affiliated to a religion. Similarly, integrated schools have their own ‘special character’, often relating to religion. Many private and integrated schools offer a history of traditional education and principles. International students are accepted at both state and private schools, which work hard to offer a quality education to their students. Most New Zealand secondary schools are coeducational, but about 10 per cent are single gender boys’ or girls’ schools. To find

out about whether schools are coeducational or single gender in this directory, you need to check the information at the bottom of each school’s profile. New Zealand secondary schools offer a wide range of subjects. Schools set their own curriculum objectives within the national guidelines set out by the Ministry of Education, which are monitored by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA). All schools, whether they are private or state-owned, must follow these guidelines. Many international students enrol for senior studies in Years 11–13 (15 to 19 years of age) in preparation for tertiary studies in New Zealand or other English-speaking countries. The curriculum guidelines mean that students can move from secondary to tertiary study easily.

The New Zealand secondary education system is consistent across all schools, with entry requirements, courses, educational standards, and curriculum being similar and designed to prepare students for tertiary study and for life on a global scale. The international PISA study confirms that New Zealand's school system performs relatively well. PISA is the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment – an ongoing, three-yearly survey of the achievement levels of 15-yearold students carried out across all the major industrialised countries. New Zealand has historically ranked near the top across the range of student achievement. The New Zealand secondary education system also fits well within other education programmes throughout the world.

English language study In New Zealand, students are taught in an English-speaking environment. International students share classes with New Zealanders and are always encouraged to participate in discussion and all aspects of learning.

nternational students often enrol in English language courses to improve their English language skills prior to commencing secondary education in New Zealand. All English language providers in New Zealand are registered with NZQA. This ensures that the standards of tuition are high and that courses are well maintained and meet international standards. International students who enrol in English language courses are tested and placed in the right programme to suit their ability. Classes are small so that individual students receive as much support as they require. New Zealand uses modern teaching methods, including conversation classes and language laboratory work.

Some English language providers are registered as testing centres for international English language proficiency testing, such as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). The institution provides courses leading up to the test, then students can sit their proficiency test. Note: For entry, most New Zealand universities require an IELTS mark of 6.0 or better from international fee-paying students, as well as a good academic record. Most New Zealand secondary schools listed in this directory are accredited to teach English language courses suitable for international students. Some have English language institutions as an addition to their school. secondary directory 2017/18

Secondary education qualifications Secondary education curriculum

Students in Years 9 and 10 study a basic core of subjects – English, social studies, general science, mathematics, music, art and crafts, and physical education. A wide range of more specialist subjects available from Years 11–13. Schools with an affiliation to a religion may also offer a compulsory religious course.

National Certificate of Educational Achievement

The National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) programme is New Zealand’s main national qualification for secondary students in Years 11–13. There are three levels of NCEA certificate, depending on the difficulty of the standards achieved. At each level, students must achieve a certain number of credits to gain an NCEA certificate. Credits can be gained over more than one year. NCEA Level 1 is offered in Year 11, Level 2 in Year 12, and Level 3 (and 4 – Scholarship qualification) in Year 13. These three (or four) levels are the first steps of eight levels in the National Qualifications Framework. To complete each NCEA level, students must earn credits, which are achieved by meeting standards in their chosen subject areas. Some standards are assessed by external examinations; others are assessed by internal assessment (marks from course work throughout the year). Each subject has three achievement levels that can be gained: credit, merit and excellence. These are awarded depending on the student's individual quality and correctness of work. For a student to be awarded NCEA Level 1, they must achieve 80 credits. Of these, eight credits must be in literacy standards and eight credits in numeracy standards. For a student to be awarded NCEA Level 2, they must achieve 80 credits, of which a minimum of 60 credits are at Level 2 or above. For a student to be awarded NCEA Level 3, they must achieve 80 credits, of which 60 must be at Level 3 or above and 20 at Level 2 or above. Students may also complete New Zealand Scholarship qualifications – essentially, NCEA Level 4.

secondary directory 2017/18

For more in-depth information about NCEA, levels of achievement, and course options, visit the New Zealand Qualifications Authority website www.nzqa.govt.nz. New Zealand has an international reputation as a provider of quality education. Education in New Zealand focuses on equipping students with skills and knowledge essential for both career and life on a global scale. The New Zealand Government works with officials worldwide to ensure qualifications are recognised. This provides an assurance to enrolling international students that whether you continue studying in New Zealand or move to another country’s education system, you will be able to credit your New Zealand qualification towards your future study. Some secondary schools provide other qualification options such as the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) or International Baccalaureate (IB). The secondary schools profiled in this directory indicate whether they offer these. If no indication is made, generally that means that the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA) is the qualification offered.

University Entrance

University Entrance (UE) is the minimum requirement to go to a New Zealand university. UE builds on the NCEA Level 3 certificate by requiring you to have 42 of your Level 3 credits in subjects that have been approved as preparation for university-level study. To qualify you will need: NCEA Level 3 fourteen Level 3 credits in each of three approved subjects slightly higher literacy and numeracy requirements. NCEA enables students to link their secondary education to their tertiary education, with all levels recognised by universities and other tertiary education providers around New Zealand. For more information about NCEA and the New Zealand secondary education curriculum, visit www.nzqa.govt.nz.

Secondary education as a pathway to further study Following secondary school, many international students choose to continue their education at tertiary level in New Zealand.

here are numerous educational opportunities at tertiary level. All qualifications are of a very high standard and are closely monitored by their governing body, which ensures that good standards are maintained. Immigration New Zealand will only grant student visas for courses accredited by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) or the sector body. Courses are available for academic, professional, and vocational studies at universities, institutes of technology and polytechnics, and private training establishments. In addition to these, there are the English language institutions, both private and those connected to New Zealand tertiary institutions. Options available for further study include:

Bridging courses and foundation studies

Many New Zealand tertiary institutions offer a certificate of university preparation, or foundation studies. If you have left school without the right NCEA Level 3 achievement standards, a bridging or foundation course can help you meet the entrance requirement of some degree pathways. Such courses may be offered as a summer school before the main academic year starts. Introductory courses may also be taught during the year, but this option can add an extra semester to your degree or diploma programme.

Universities

New Zealand universities are all research-based and stateowned. New Zealand universities offer courses from certificate level through to PhD. The academic year is from March to November. A July start date may be available for some courses. Summer semester courses (January to March) may also be available. All teacher training is undertaken through New Zealand universities, which makes it easy to undertake study in specific areas of education.

Institutes of technology and polytechnics

Private training establishments

New Zealand institutes of technology and polytechnics (ITPs) are state-owned. New Zealand ITPs offer courses that are equivalent in merit to those offered in New Zealand universities. ITPs offer courses from certificate level, with some offering full degree and postgraduate level studies. The academic year is from March to November. A July start date may be available for some courses.

There are a large number of private training establishments (PTEs) throughout New Zealand. Some PTEs run courses in a particular discipline, such as business or travel and tourism. All PTEs are required to be registered with NZQA. Most run on a similar timetable to state tertiary institutions.

The system creates a strong feeling of belonging and selfesteem where students feel accepted and valued. There are eight whānau houses named after well-known people in New Zealand’s history. Each house reflects the character of the person and this also creates an element of competition.

Some of our students now study in Harvard, Princeton, Oxford and Cambridge universities.
