Kia Ora
I would like to welcome you as an international student to Gisborne Boys’ High School and the start of your new life in New Zealand.
We have a long history of hosting students from many countries all around the world.
The school can provide both a long-term, full-time academic course, as well as a quality short-term program.
My role is to support you on your journey here in every way possible.
You will be placed in a small international form class so we see each other every day at school, making communication easy.
Come and experience our Gisborne ‘Kiwi’ culture and way of life. Make the most of the new opportunities available and become involved in sports and cultural activities. We welcome YOU to be a part of our great, multi-cultural, friendly school.
