International students

Rangiora New Life offers a limited number of international student placements available annually between Years 6 – 13 (ages 10 – 18).

Our family loves the encouragement to share our culture with the students; it makes us feel very welcomed and happy. Not only is the culture acknowledged in school but also their faith and Christianity is too, which is very rare to see in schools in today's society. It's reassuring to know our children are in safe hands and feel a sense of belonging in this school.
