Based at the stunningly beautiful St Peter's School campus in Cambridge, this exciting programme provides international students with the best of both worlds: a social, homestay-style environment on campus that fully utilises the school's incredible facilities, combined with amazing day trips and iconic New Zealand adventures that are truly unforgettable.

Students will have the opportunity to enjoy various activities, immerse themselves in the local culture, and engage with the vibrant community surrounding them.

Make lifelong friends, explore hidden gems and breathtaking landscapes that most visitors never reach, and experience the very best this remarkable country has to offer, creating memories that will last a lifetime.

Take your first full day to explore everything St Peter's has to offer!!

Hit the gym for an energising workout, take a refreshing dip in the heated pool, kick a ball around on the many sports fields, or try your hand at the golf driving range. Don't forget to visit the school farm for an animal encounter or get up close and personal with the beautiful horses at the Equestrian Centre.

With so many exciting activities on offer, there's truly something for everyone to enjoy.

This is a wonderful chance to get to know your new friends and ease into the trip. Think of it as your warm-up act, as the best is very much still to come!

Head north to Hamilton, New Zealand's fourth-largest city, for a fun-filled day out.

Browse the shops at The Base, one of the North Island's most popular shopping destinations, before heading out to the stunning Taupiri Sunflower fields for a quintessentially New Zealand summer experience. Rolling hills, endless rows of golden sunflowers, and plenty of photo opportunities.

Pack your bags; today marks the beginning of your epic East Coast road trip.

Depart Cambridge and head east through Rotorua, New Zealand's geothermal heartland, stopping to take in the sights and smells of this extraordinary volcanic landscape.

Continue on to Whakatane, a sun-soaked coastal town nestled in the Eastern Bay of Plenty and one of New Zealand's sunniest spots. We head to Ohope Beach, one of New Zealand's favourite beaches, regularly voted among the best.

We will enjoy a truly iconic Kiwi meal: fish and chips on the beach, as you prepare to explore a part of New Zealand that most visitors never reach.

After the adrenaline rush, continue north up the stunning East Cape road to Hicks Bay, one of New Zealand's most remote and beautiful coastal settlements.

Rocky coastline, crystal-clear water, and a real sense of being somewhere truly off the beaten track.

Continue south along the East Cape towards Gisborne, the first city in the world to see the sunrise each day.

Along the way, stop at Dive Tatapouri for an unforgettable reef ecology tour. Wade out to the reef at low tide and come face to face with stingrays, fish, and a host of fascinating marine life in their natural environment. It's a hands-on wildlife experience unlike anything else.

Arrive in Gisborne and spend the evening exploring this vibrant, laid-back town.

Begin the journey back to Cambridge, stopping in Tauranga, New Zealand's fastest-growing city and home to stunning beaches, great cafes, and the iconic Mount Maunganui.

Grab lunch and stretch your legs before the final leg home to St Peter's. It's the perfect way to wind down after a great week on the road and, you'll return with stories, new friends, and memories to last a lifetime.

After a week on the road, today is all about recharging. Sleep in, relax by the heated pool, hit the gym, or simply enjoy the beautiful St. Peter's campus at your own pace.

This is your day, no schedule, no rush. It's the perfect reset before the final few days of the program.
