Cultural and Language Exchange

A significant feature of Upper School is our Cultural and Language Exchange programs. These programs provide opportunities for students to travel internationally to live and study abroad, providing them with cultural and/or language understanding and newfound global perspectives. These programs also involve reciprocal hosting whereby students and families host a visiting exchange student. Year 9 students will be eligible to apply for a range of Cultural Exchange opportunities and Year 10 can apply for both Cultural and Language Exchange.

Our Cultural Exchange program involves partnerships with more than a dozen schools throughout New Zealand, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Our Language Exchange opportunities, which focus on language skills development and a cultural experience, include France, Germany, Japan and China.
