International Students

Enrol

International students are a valued and important part of the Lindisfarne College family and are welcomed into our boarding environment.

Their presence enriches our culture, strengthens global understanding, and reflects our belief that every young man grows best in a community built on respect, compassion and strong, supportive relationships. We are proud of the confidence families place in us to care for their sons while they study in New Zealand.

  • A strong pastoral care system built around knowing each boy personally
