The 'Kiwi' Experience
 

The 'Kiwi' Experience


ACG Strathallan is ideally positioned to offer international students the best of both worlds. Our campus is located on Auckland’s Hingaia Peninsula in Karaka, next to a stunning tidal inlet. Karaka is primarily a rural town associated with thoroughbred horse studs, dairy farming and sheep farming. This gives our school a rural feel, yet we are conveniently located only five minutes from the Southern Motorway – 2km west of the Papakura/Karaka off-ramp, and just 20 minutes from New Zealand’s largest shopping centre. 

The school is close to city attractions yet has plenty of space and a peaceful atmosphere, giving students a glimpse of rural New Zealand life. International students integrate quickly into the wider school cohort through their involvement in class trips, extracurricular activities and social events, all of which provide a wonderful first-hand experience of the Kiwi way of life.

ESOL Support

ESOL Support


Students who speak English as a second language are well supported by the school. New students enter an Intensive English Language Programme and their progress is regularly assessed. As their English competence improves, students are introduced to more mainstream subjects. Ongoing ESOL support is facilitated by teacher aides who have a constant awareness of each student’s individual needs.

Mid-Year Start Option

Mid-Year Start Option


Students finishing school in June in their home country do not need to wait until January to start at ACG Strathallan. We can accommodate new international students starting in Term Three (July) and Term Four (October). A bridging programme in Term Four helps international students adjust to the New Zealand academic environment in advance of the following school year.
