International Students

Kia ora, こんにちは, 안녕하세요, Hallo, Kumusta, Bula, Talofa

A warm welcome to Roncalli College and the South Canterbury Region!

It is important to us, that you get the greatest possible value out of your NZ Secondary School experience (both in your studies and in student life outside the classroom).

While moving to a new school (and new country) is exciting it can also come with its challenges. 

The information and tips below are designed to help during this time of transition.

Support at School

There is a range of support available here at Roncalli College:

Multicultural Aoraki

Multicultural Aoraki provides guidance, advice and support, helps connect people to services and can advocate for people with those agencies if needed.

This service is particularly for those who are new to the area or who don’t speak English as their first language.

Online Support

A free service for New Zealanders feeling down, anxious, overwhelmed or just needing to chat.

You’ll get to talk to (or text with) a trained counsellor or talk to a peer support worker.

Phone or text 1731 for free 24/7.
