International Education

Owairoa Primary School offers opportunities to individual and group students to enrol for short-term [from one week] and for longer periods [up to six years] of study to students aged 5 to 12 years old.

All International Students aged 5 - 9 years old must be accompanied by, and continue to live with, a parent for the duration of their studies at Owairoa Primary School.

All International Students aged 10-12 years old can enrol without being accompanied by their Parent/s, and can live in an Owairoa-approved Homestay, with a family member or relative, or with a designated caregiver.

International Students will only be accepted if there is sufficient space available for International Students, at the relevant year level, in the school.

All International Students attending Owairoa Primary School must have Travel and Medical Insurance cover for the duration of their enrolment period.
