How to Enrol You can use a local Education Consultant to help get your visa. A list of Consultants and Agents is available from the New Zealand Embassy or High Commission in your area. The consultants will handle all the paperwork and will be in constant communication with us.
1. Apply to the High School on the official application form enclosed in this pack. Be sure you complete all sections of the form and that your parent signs the ‘contract’ section. Enclose with your application your latest school report, public examination results or forecast marks. 2. You will then be sent a document called an “Offer of a Place”. Take this to your nearest New Zealand Embassy/High Commission and get an application for a visa. The Visa Officer will explain what other documents you need.
4. When we receive the money we will mail a receipt to you and fax a copy of the receipt to the Visa office in your country. 5. The Visa Office will issue you with a Student Visa. As you pass through Immigration on your arrival in New Zealand this will be converted to a Student Permit which will last one year from the date of your arrival. We are sure you will enjoy your stay with us. You will take home with you not only a quality education, but friendships, memories and experiences to last a lifetime. We look forward to welcoming you to Onehunga High School. CONTACT Address: 24 Pleasant St, Onehunga, Auckland 1007, New Zealand

Onehunga
High School is a school with a strong tradition of academic achievement
and sporting and cultural excellence.
New
Zealand is situated in the South Pacific. It has a multi-cultural
population of just under 4 million. It is a clean, green country with
wonderful scenic lakes, rivers, mountains and beaches. The New Zealand
people are well known for being very open, friendly and welcoming. This
is most certainly true for the students at our school. 
Onehunga
High School is an achievement orientated school, which sets and
maintains high academic standards. The staff is well qualified and
professional. While academic studies are emphasised, a wide range of
sports and arts including music, drama and cultural activities are
offered. The use of leading edge technology, including computers, is a
particular strength of the school. Our location means that we are close
to Auckland University and the major polytechnics.
The
school prepares students for all New Zealand public examinations and for
tertiary education. You can select subjects taught at Year 9 (Form 3)
to Year 13 (Form 7) level. 
The ESOL
department is staffed by qualified English Language teachers. The
department has a range of resources to help you with English language
and with other subjects in the curriculum. They also provide support
for classroom teachers who have ESOL students in their classes.
Your
welfare and safety are important to us. Your parents are sending you
far from home for your education, and are anxious about you while you
are in New Zealand. Therefore, good homestay and excellent pastoral
care are important.
