International Students

International students are placed in classrooms with generally no more than two per room. They go out for 2 extra English lessons per week. All of the children mix and play with the other children in their class. If they have a particular problem they see their teacher or Mrs Knight who oversees their welfare.

While our overseas pupils get to experience life in a New Zealand school, we also get to know children from other countries and other cultures.

Matipo Primary School has limited vacancies for International Students aged 8 – 11 years. The school is a signatory to the Code of Practice for International Students.

There is a maximum of 2 overseas students to a class and a maximum of 16 in the school. An English immersion programme is provided with overseas students fully integrated in the classroom programme. In addition, extra English language tuition is provided in a small group situation.

Tuition costs are currently NZ$8,000.00 plus NZ$425.00 government fee for one year tuition. This includes classroom stationery and local trips or performances.

Full details are available from the school office.
