Why Choose Waiuku Primary School?
Country Life on the Edge of the City
o Just one hour southwest of Auckland City, Waiuku Primary School offers a true rural
experience within one hour of the city.
A True New Zealand Experience
o International student numbers are kept low so that students can easily integrate into Waiuku
Primary School life.
o Variety of homestays in a small rural town, or on a small farm.
Small, Friendly Community
o Waiuku is an attractive town with supportive, friendly homestays and a real sense of
community that is often lost in larger cities.
o Most of our Homestays have NZ students currently learning at Waiuku Primary School. So
International Students have a “NZ buddy” who will go to school with them daily and be in the
same home.
Adventure Sports and the Outdoors
o With close access to farms, beaches rivers and harbours, students are able to take part in a
multitude of sports and activities.
