The International Student Department runs orientation programmes for all new students throughout the year. An International Dinner is held at the beginning of the year to welcome new students and their host families. Students are also taken on an outdoor education trip where they have the opportunity to experience abseiling and rafting in one of our forest parks. Other outings and events are arranged during the year.

The students are encouraged to join in sporting and cultural activities within the wider school. There are many sports teams they can join which compete locally and nationally. Other activities available include a musical production, a school orchestra and other musical groups. Some of our international students are in the first 11 soccer team. This year our students also represent the school in badminton, skiing, volleyball, rugby and tennis.
