St John's College warmly welcomes

each student's level of competency
in English is assessed to ensure
they are placed at the appropriate
level of study. The Dean of
International Students oversees the
academic programmes, progress and
welfare of our students. Assistance
with: renewal of visas, medical
insurance and opening bank accounts
is available. Extra buddy reading
programmes with NZ students are
provided free of charge. Enrolments
are accepted throughout the year

English Language
Requirement
Good English needed. However
attendance at a language school
prior to enrolment at
St John's College
may
be required if a student’s English
fluency is not satisfactory for his
academic level.
Accommodation options:
If a student requires accommodation
the College can arrange a homestay,
that is, living with a local New
Zealand family. The homestay will
provide the student with his own
fully furnished room, three meals a
day and laundry facilities. Homestay
families are police vetted. The Dean
of International students makes two
visits to the Homestay residence
twice a year to ensure the student
is being well cared for whilst he is
away from home.
Once a term the student is asked to
complete an evaluation form about
school life in general as well as
his homestay so the Dean can monitor
any concerns he might have.
