Pakūranga College
Secondary school in Auckland, New Zealand
Kia ora, welcome to Pakuranga College
Applying to study internationally is a time of great excitement for students. Excitement about the new friends they’ll make, the different cultures they’ll discover, and the chance to experience new things.
It can also be a time of nervousness. Being away from home, in a new environment can be difficult at times. That is why Pakuranga College has a dedicated International Department, with staff committed to making the process of studying in New Zealand easier at every point – from visa application through to settling into your new homestay family and classes.
Pakuranga College is a top co-educational high school with over 2,000 students. We have a long tradition of commitment to excellence and nurturing students who are well-prepared for university study.
Coming to study in New Zealand is about more than just time spent at school. It’s about experiencing our local attractions and there are plenty in East Auckland to keep students entertained, from mountain biking in our parks to swimming at our beautiful beaches. Our welcoming homestay families are always keen to show their host students Auckland’s highlights.
We look forward to welcoming students to the Pakuranga College family and to Auckland.
