International Fee-Paying Students

International fee-paying students

Rationale

It is important for education to keep pace with increasing internationalisation. Many of our students will operate in a multi-cultural environment both within and beyond New Zealand. Contact with international students is beneficial for these reasons.  As well, income generated from international fee-paying students benefits all students.

Guidelines

1. The Board of Trustees will maintain a ceiling on the number of international fee-paying students at the School.  As at the March 1^st roll return this number is set at 5% full time equivalent (FTE) students.
2. The School will adhere to the Code of Practice issued by the Ministry of Education for the care and protection of international students.
3. Adequate resourcing will be provided to ensure appropriate support for international fee-paying students.  Quality services for international fee-paying students will be maintained through provision of classes in English for speakers of other languages, employment of a Homestay Manager and provision of pastoral care.
4. Wherever possible, international fee-paying students will be enrolled on the basis that they fit within the established academic culture of the School.
5. The Board of Trustees will guarantee that the fees of all international fee-paying students will be refunded on a pro rata basis in the event that the international programme cannot continue.
