International students choose to come to Wanganui for one of three reasons.
1. Their friends have been here and they had a good experience and recommend the school.
2. The school's academic record. The students pass the NCEA assessments at rates 20% above the National average. Last year 90% of Year 11 students gained NCEA 1.
3. Outdoor education. The school's position close to the National Parks in the center of the North Island means we are able to use our surroundings to have an excellent outdoor education programme.
