International Students Coming to a new country is exciting, but often confusing.
At Avonside there are always people who will help with problems that arise. The Deputy Principal is responsible for the students' admission, academic work and general welfare at school. The Homestay Co-ordinator will arrange the students' board, meet her at the airport, help with uniform and supervise her general welfare while she is in New Zealand. The classroom teacher, Form Teacher and Dean are also helpful and the School Counsellors will help the student plan her future when she leaves Avonside, particularly if she is going on to University or Polytechnic. An orientation programme will help students adjust to their new school.
