Bethlehem College
Composite school in Tauranga, New Zealand
Kia Ora!
At Bethlehem College, we’re passionate about four key learning areas: intellectual, cultural, moral and physical. While we have high expectations for academic progress, we know students will enjoy well-rounded learning opportunities - including experience of arts, culture, sports, spiritual and New Zealand life.
As a Christian learning community, we do our best to provide a caring, loving and supportive environment for students, not only at school, but also in their homestay families.
BC is a state-integrated school that goes from Year 1 to Year 13. This means that primary, intermediate and high school students are all on one large campus, providing a great option for families who want to have all their children attending one school.
About Tauranga
Tauranga is the Bay of Plenty’s largest city, centred on a busy port and harbour. With beaches at nearby Mount Maunganui, it offers growing employment, schooling and an outdoor coastal lifestyle.
Bay of Plenty Region
The Bay of Plenty Region covers a sweeping stretch of eastern North Island coastline, known for golden beaches, geothermal zones and fertile farmland. It was named “Bay of Plenty” by explorer James Cook after he noted its abundant food supplies, and the region still retains strong links with Māori heritage, with many iwi (tribes), hapū and marae present. Agriculture, forestry and tourism are pillars of the regional economy, and the region also offers strong lifestyle appeal with sunshine, surf-friendly seas and a mix of medium-sized towns. For schools seeking to attract international students, Bay of Plenty offers a laid-back yet active setting, combining regional amenity with accessibility.
