International Students
We welcome international students as part of our school community. International students enhance the learning environment of our school, providing a valuable cultural student mix.
Diocesan School for Girls provides comprehensive care for our international students through our International Pastoral Care Team, co-ordinated by the International Students’ Dean. At the beginning of the academic year international students participate in a comprehensive orientation programme designed to familiarise them with the school environment and to help them understand our school culture.
International students are integrated into regular classes, across Years 7 - 13. The Centre for Enhanced Learning provides specific support with students' literacy learning in individual subjects. Students will be given English as a Second Language (ESOL) support and are also able to gain additional NCEA credits when they successfully complete ESOL unit standards.
For any further information please contact our Director of International Students, Mrs Simone Clark.
