Selwyn Colleges enrolls international students who plan to complete a NZ secondary school qualification to obtain university entrance and enter tertiary study in NZ or other English speaking countries. Selwyn College also enrolls students who wish to spend a shorter time in NZ and are looking more for a social, cultural, and language experience, as well as furthering their education.

Selwyn College is a medium sized (approx. 800 students) co-educational (girls and boys) state secondary school in Auckland. For more information contact Julia Cornthwaite, Director of International Students, at:  ints@selwyn.school.nz

Students are able to apply to enrol at Selwyn College through firms (agents) accredited to the school that specialise in providing places at schools in NZ, or they can apply directly to the College. More information on applying is available from the College. You can communicate at any time with Julia Cornthwaite in the International Office. Julia’s e-mail address is ints@selwyn.school.nz
