Howick College has written:
Welcome to Howick College where inclusion and diversity are celebrated. As an international student, you will experience Kiwi life whilst being encouraged and supported throughout your journey. We recognize each of our students as individuals and work with you to provide a personalised experience you will never forget.
Every year, the Howick College whānau (family) welcomes students from countries all over the world. We will meet you at the airport, introduce you to your homestay family and pair you with a local student, who will help you integrate into life at Howick College. We encourage you to become involved in many of the incredible opportunities we offer, including the International Food Festival, School Ball, Principal's Morning Tea, and International Trips.
Our students care about our world and we pride ourselves on being responsible, passionate citizens, who influence others and make a difference.
Our students appreciate the importance of contributing to the wider community. You will have many opportunities to actively participate in charity fundraising, blood donation, environmental projects, and World Vision appeals.
