Education Review Office Report

The Education Review Office (ERO) is the New Zealand Government Department that  reviews schools and publishes national reports on current education practice.

Marlborough Girls’ College is providing its international students with many high quality systems for ensuring their safety and welfare. Comprehensive structures, policies and procedures ensure that supportive pastoral care, good communication, and school-wide monitoring systems effectively assist international students to feel part of college life. Students report feeling comfortable, welcomed and safe within the college and at their homestay accommodation. The board receives in-depth analysis of student progress based on achievement data.

The provision of English language tuition is effectively tailored to meet differing needs and abilities. Students receive appropriate initial assessments in English and are provided with courses and language support according to results.
