An enrolment pack for each year 8 student is left at each school. Enquiries from outside of the area are always welcome and a visit to the school followed by a meeting with senior leadership is encouraged.

Gateway

The purpose of a Gateway is to:

encourage students to stay engaged in learning by providing a motivating and disciplined programme;

help students to gain improved qualifications and help them prepare to move successfully into the workforce or further education and training.

International Students

Te Kuiti High School has a tradition of hosting and providing educational experiences for international students. Sadly these are on hold in 2022 due to COVID restrictions.

In order to maintain a high level of personal support and to ensure an "authentic" New Zealand experience, we limit the number of international students attending our school at any one time.

The school is a signatory to the ‘Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students’ which provides a framework for service delivery by educational providers to international students in New Zealand.

The code applies to pastoral care and provision of information only and not to academic standards.

On arrival at the school diagnostic assessments are completed to ensure suitable class placement.

Students are guided on subject and option choices based on their previous academic record and course requirements for any future tertiary education and participate in an orientation process to ensure a smooth transition into a New Zealand educational setting.

Te Kuiti High School welcomes applications from International Students who wish to experience a rural lifestyle short or long term.

All short-term exchange visits up to 21 days will be as follows:

$80 per student, per day based on 20 or more students in the group.
$90 per student, per day based on 18-20 students in the group.

Te Kuiti High School look forward to hosting short-term groups during term times only.

Applications should be posted to: The Principal, Te Kuiti High School, P.O.Box 264, Te Kuiti 3910, New Zealand.

International Contacts

We welcome overseas students regularly, through schemes such as AFS and Rotary International, and our students in turn travel overseas with these organisations.

We have hosted numerous short-stay groups from Japan and Thailand, and opportunities arise from time to time for groups of our students to travel abroad.
