Arrival
If staying in Homestay accommodation or High Performance Sport Boarding, your host family, or NZPAA staff, will meet you at Wellington Airport.
If you arriving into another International Airport in New Zealand you will need to fly on a domestic flight to Wellington.
All International Airports in New Zealand also have the Domestic terminals located in the same building with the exception of Auckland.
Arriving into Auckland International Airport you can either take the free domestic airport bus or take the 10 minute walk (following the green line on the pathway) to the domestic airport.
The average domestic flight times from these International Airports to Wellington is between 45 mins to just over the hour.
In your first days at school you will take part in an orientation program where you will learn everything about the school, living in the Greater Wellington Area, and meet all the wonderful people who will support your amazing learning adventure.
