Geraldine High School

Kia Ora and welcome to Geraldine High School.

We are very happy that you have chosen to join us for this special part of your education. You will find the teachers, students and families of Geraldine to be friendly, happy and hard working.

Our director of International Students will make sure everything is in place for you to start studying with us.

In your classes you will find teachers who are highly qualified and very experienced. Teachers get to know their students, and treat everyone with respect and kindness. Our classes are generally small in number, and our classrooms are large, warm and bright. Lessons often take place outside the classroom, from our own school fields to the local town and beyond.

Students at Geraldine High School are proud of their school and community, and work hard to meet very high standards. Our students are relaxed and friendly and enjoy getting to know new people. They are involved in a wide range of activities, including sports, drama, music, outdoor education, camps, leadership, and academic competitions. There will definitely be something for you to be involved with.

Living in Geraldine is fun! It is a beautiful town surrounded by rivers, mountains and farms, with plenty of shops to explore. It is close to cities, lakes, ski fields and the Pacific Ocean. Your homestay family is looking forward to hosting you, and showing you around their home, town and country. We are certain that you will appreciate their hospitality.

Enjoy our nationally well-regarded Outdoor Education classes, where students learn to kayak and tramp in our local rivers and mountains.

During the winter months the students taking part in our ski academy enjoy skiing or snowboarding at local mountains and those students who are good enough can go on and gain their ski instructor's level one certificate.
