Welcome to Garin College International

Hello and welcome to Garin College’s International Programme.

As International Director, I’m privileged to guide students from around the world as they embark on their educational journey abroad. I believe every student’s path is unique and I’m passionate about helping our students discover and achieve their personal vision of success, whether they’re aiming for university studies, exploring vocational pathways, or developing their talents in sports or the arts.

Our International Programme is proud to offer:

  • Exceptional academic support with small class sizes and a dedicated International Teacher Assistant on staff
  • A specialised English Language Learning programme
  • Career guidance and pathway planning
  • High levels of pastoral support and regular check-ins
  • A welcoming and safe homestay programme, with carefully selected local families
  • Cultural integration events, international student school holiday trips and other recreational activities.
  • A quality outdoor education programme in a region renowned for its vast array of stunning natural landscapes to explore.

What sets Garin College apart is our commitment to fostering genuine connections through strong clear values. Our small class sizes ensure that every student receives individual attention, while our strong pastoral care system provides the necessary support for students to thrive academically and personally.

It is important to me that our international students feel not just welcomed, but truly at home in our vibrant school community. Watching our international students grow in confidence and capability is what makes this role so rewarding.

Take the next steps to joining our Garin College family:

I look forward to personally welcoming you to Garin College and supporting your journey to success.

Kerri
