We have 20 years of experience of educating and taking care of International Students. International students come from a range of different cultural backgrounds, and this provides an ideal environment to be supported and succeed in. This diversity amongst the students ensures differences are respected and international students have positive interactions that help them develop their confidence and assist in improving their English. Wellington College was one of the first schools to enter into the international student market, taking in its first students in 1994 after then Deputy Principal Mike Pallin visited four countries &ndash; Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore &ndash; as part of a New Zealand Education International Limited (NZEIL) initiative. That first trip resulted in three students &ndash; two from Thailand, one from Malaysia &ndash; arriving six months later to study ESOL as part of an existing programme developed for non-English speaking local students. For the first 18 months there was little structure to the international programme but there was a plan to build to 20 students within three years. The College now has 70 international students, with about 50 per cent completing their programme each year. Wellington College focuses on long-stay students because of the financial benefit, because they tend to have more of an academic focus and because they tend to be more settled.</p>
