There are various types of accommodation which are available to international students. Homestay - you will live with a New Zealand family, in a suburban house with your own room. Your host family will treat you as a member of their family and will provide breakfast and dinner. In the weekends they will also offer lunch. Homestay families are selected carefully and offer a safe and caring environment.
Rooms are single or dormitories.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are provided in the cafeterias. Most New Zealand secondary schools are state schools established and funded by the New Zealand government through the Ministry of Education. These schools are broadly similar in type and facilities. These schools are generally affiliated to religious organisations. Students at independent schools follow the official curriculum in subject areas for public examinations.
