Kerikeri High School New Zealand
International - Why Us?
Kerikeri High School has high standards and a proven
track record of academic achievement but what makes us
unique is the Kerikeri environment and our highly regarded
Sailing Academy.
Kerikeri is a vibrant, bustling town of about 10,000
people located in the beautiful
Bay of Islands in northern New Zealand approximately 45
minutes by plane or 3 hours by car north of Auckland.
Originally home to Maori villages, Kerikeri was one of the
first places settled by European missionaries in the early
1800s. Kemp House and The Stone Store are the oldest
buildings of their kind in New Zealand.
The warm sub-tropical climate is ideal for fruit growing
and there is a long established horticultural industry based
on successful citrus and kiwifruit production. World-class
sailing, fishing, and diving are available in the Bay of
Islands. Kerikeri has a unique lifestyle with numerous
cafes, boutique shops, artists, and galleries.
Kerikeri
High School is located in the scenic, historic Bay of Islands in
Northland, New Zealand. We have a
dedicated professional staff of 100 who provide a full range of
academic, sporting and cultural programmes to our students from Year 7
to Year 13. Our spacious, modern campus is located in the heart of the
Kerikeri township.
We are proud of
our school and we strive to create a caring environment. Our school has
an excellent record in all subject areas as well as sport, debating,
drama, problem solving and many more extra-curricular activities. We
work positively to help all students achieve their goals. We also work
actively to prepare students for future challenges.
It
is our policy to welcome students from all countries and many
international friendships have been made. Students from Germany, China,
Brazil, Austria, Japan, Vanuatu, Korea, Italy, Russia, Ukraine, Tahiti,
India, The Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Canada, South
Africa, Zimbabwe, The Czech Republic, and The United States of America
have met together in our international centre.
We are the only school in New Zealand with a Sailing Academy
incorporated in the school programme. Students come from all over the
world to sail and study.
About the School
The school is built on eight hectares of land. This gives plenty of
space for recreation and sports.
It
is a co-educational, state school ranging from Year 7 to Year 13. We're
proud of our academic record and the facilities. We aim to enable
students to be responsible citizens and have the skills to take full
advantage of life's opportunities.
There is a full range of academic subjects offered as well as
subjects like Outdoor Education and Drama. You can enrol for New Zealand
qualifications. Most students study 4 to 6 subjects.
We
include computer technology in most subjects. There are over 200
networked computers throughout the school with broadband internet access
for all students. The library resources are all searchable through the
school's intranet.
There is a new performing arts suite for drama and music.
The Theatre
Arts Academyoperates every Friday for Year13 Drama students There is an
exciting new building for art, design and technology. There is a large
swimming complex with a dive pool. Year 13 physical education students
use this for their scuba diving course.
There are many sports available at school or with sports clubs in the
local community. We have both summer and winter sports so not all sports
are played all the time. We are proud of our jazz band, musical
concerts, debating groups and drama performances.
There are also opportunities to join cultural groups in the
community. It is possible to choose a course with a focus on outdoor
activities.
The Sailing Academy
The main difference is our Sailing Academy established in 2000. If
you can sail and want to broaden your sailing knowledge and experience,
you can join the Academy. You will study 4 or 5 academic subjects and
also sailing theory and practice. You will sail small boats and keelers
on lakes and the open conditions of the Bay of Islands.
Kerikeri High School has a 25 year history of sailing and has
produced many professional sailors and people working in the sailing
industry. Highlights have been 7 New Zealand Secondary Schools
Championship titles and 5 Interdominion Secondary Schools Championship
titles in the past 10 years.
