International Learners

International Student Enrolment

Churchill Park School is a signatory to the Education Code of Practice 2021 and meets the quality standards of pastoral care for our International Learners.

CPS is a wonderful school with fabulous environment, professional management and friendly teachers / classmates. It is a pity that we cannot stay longer due to our own time arrangement. The three weeks at CPS will be the two kids' important and special moment in their memory.

We warmly invite you to become part of our Churchill Park whānau/family, where children are encouraged to grow, connect, and succeed in a school community that values excellence, belonging, and global citizenship

Cultural Ambassadors

 At Churchill Park School, our aim is to ensure that students feel welcome and supported. Cultural Ambassadors are selected for the way they consistently demonstrate our school values of Responsibility, Respect, and Resilience. Through their kindness and leadership, they help new students settle in, build friendships, and feel a strong sense of belonging at Churchill Park School.

 

“Thank you Churchill Park for making Leo feel so welcome.  He was very sad to leave on his last day.  He has made good kiwi friends”
