International: Introduction

 

Milford School welcomes international students. It is recognized nationwide and in some overseas countries for both its academic excellence and appreciation of cultural diversity of its young pupils. Our students come from supportive families, always striving for excellence. We value the contribution students and families from different countries bring to our school community. Milford School has the atmosphere of an International school as many of our students' families have migrated to New Zealand in the last decade. Apart from those who are residents of New Zealand, we have a number of International fee paying students.
In order for our International students to be fully catered for, we have the International Student Language Centre, established in 2003, currently being run by Gordana Stanojevic, our Director of International students.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Gordana has been teaching English as a Second Language for more than 15 years. She has lived in New Zealand fifteen years, originally coming from Serbia. Gordana has travelled throughout Europe, Asia and Africa and has an excellent rapport with other cultures, which she shares not only with ESOL students, but also with a group of Milford School students who attend Thursday lunchtime Media Club.
 

The Director of International students and her staff,  Miss Tracye Eriksen, Mrs. Miriam Phillips and Monica Min, teacher aides, liaise closely with the classroom teachers to ensure that the pupils are settled and fully involved with the school curriculum.
