At Christchurch North College, our international students are supported by a dedicated team who walk alongside them throughout their journey at CNC. Each member of our staff brings a strong pastoral background, ensuring that students receive high-quality wrap-around care as well as personalised learning support.
We understand that studying in a new country can be both exciting and challenging, and our team is committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment where every student can thrive.
From academic guidance to wellbeing support, we work closely with students and their families to ensure they feel connected, supported, and confident during their time with us.
Our support includes:
- Pastoral Care and Wellbeing Guidance: Helping students adjust to life in New Zealand and feel safe and connected.
- Academic Guidance and Personalised Learning Plans: Ensuring students can achieve their goals while receiving extra support when needed.
- Practical Support: Assisting with living arrangements, banking, IRD, and navigating day-to-day life in New Zealand.
- Cultural and Social Programmes: Including kapa haka, waiata, arts, and group activities to help students feel part of our school community.
- One-on-One Mentoring and Safe Spaces: Providing opportunities for students to discuss challenges and build confidence in their learning and social skills.
