SIEBA and Education New Zealand are excited to offer a new programme to assist agencies in our key markets to promote international education in Primary and Intermediate schools in New Zealand.

I believe SIEBA will help us grow our international student numbers and provide an even better educational and lifestyle experience for all our students; domestic and international.

Principal, Otago Girls' High School

Many New Zealand schools see international education as an important part of what they do; these schools are part of New Zealand’s international education industry. Education New Zealand is looking forward to working strategically with an industry-led body that will lead, connect and grow the sector.

Chief Executive, Education New Zealand

Being geographically isolated from others working in my field, I am looking forward to the opportunity to be able to connect more easily with others in similar roles, facing similar challenges.

International Director, Waihi College

I am looking forward to having a body that is uniquely positioned to understand the needs of our sector and to respond accordingly with that sole focus. A body that will help schools grow capacity and improve practice, and give us access to a greater number of new business opportunities.

Deputy Principal and Director of International Students, Macleans College

Having worked in a range of schools including large, small, rural, urban, those with an established international student programme and those struggling to get such a programme off the ground, I am excited that SIEBA will provide support and benefit to each one of these schools.

Principal, Otago Girls' High School

As a foundation member of SIEBA I see wonderful opportunities for Principals to grow their International student numbers, connect with other schools around the Code of Practice and policies, and lead strategically with knowledge, support, and insight around International Education
