Pastoral care is the foundation of our International Student Programme. Students are monitored throughout their study experience and any academic or pastoral care concerns are followed up by our dedicated International Team.

Students and accompanying parents will attend a Day 1 orientation on the student’s first day of school. This is an opportunity to learn about Lytton Street School, see the facilities and amenities, learn the school’s rules and health and safety information, meet the International Team and be introduced to the student’s classroom and teacher. Accompanying parents are encouraged to attend the orientation so that they also become familiar with the school.

Lytton Street School welcomes the accompanying parents of international students. The International Team will stay in close contact with accompanying parents and support them as and when necessary. The school recognises that accompanying parents are living apart from their own support networks and wants to ensure that these parents experience a safe positive experience whilst their children are studying at Lytton Street School.

Accompanying parents are encouraged to attend the first day orientation with their child so that they can learn about Lytton Street School. Lytton Street School has access to a local English language school where accompanying parents may enrol and study English for living in New Zealand. Classes take place when their child is attending school.
