International :: Epsom Girls Grammar School

Students should be in New Zealand in time for enrolment. The student's caregiver/support person/agent should meet them at Auckland International Airport. If this is not possible we will arrange for a member of staff to meet them.

When students arrive in New Zealand they should contact the school (630-5963) to confirm their appointment to enrol with the Dean of International Students.

All International Students under age 18 should have a support person in Auckland who will be responsible for them during their time in New Zealand. On their first visit to Epsom Girls Grammar School for enrolment, they should be accompanied by their caregiver/support person/agent.

The Dean of International Students will take new students through an orientation programme which will inroduce then to student buddies and give them the information that they need to fit into EGGS.
