Message from the Principal

We believe in success.  Whether you are studying Business, Computing, Early Childhood Education or English, we are committed to your success.  Our students pass; our students get jobs; our students progress to higher education; and very importantly, our students enjoy their time at ICL Business School!

Education changes as fast as the world does, and when you select your study destination it is important to find innovation as well as a tradition of quality.  In New Zealand you will find both: an excellent, British-based academic heritage, with universities over 100 years old, and a dynamic, modern education system constantly adapting to the change and growth in our multi-cultural society.  And at ICL, within this traditional yet dynamic environment, we offer the perfect combination of private sector service standards, and the academic guarantee of qualifications owned or approved by the NZ government.

Our mission is to help you “develop learner autonomy”; at ICL you take ownership of your education.  Your teachers guide you, with enthusiasm and professional skill, in the direction of your learning objectives, but you must do the work, both in class and through self-study.  Think of your teacher as the conductor and your class as the orchestra.  The conductor directs you, but you and your classmates make the music!

I look forward to meeting you at ICL and helping you succeed.

Ewen Mackenzie-Bowie

Principal and Director
