The Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Students) Code of Practice 2021 comes into effect on 1 January 2022.
The Code sets out a general duty of pastoral care that tertiary education providers have for domestic and international tertiary learners.
The general duty of pastoral care under the Code covers physical safety, access to advice and support services, physical and mental health support, freedom from discrimination and racism, support for transition to tertiary study, and the opportunity to take part in decision making on support services.
To fully support our learners, the School observes the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners published by the Ministry of Education.
The Code is available below, on request at the School or from the New Zealand Ministry of Education website.
The property management and maintenance contractors conduct regular inspection of the school premises and necessary repairs to ensure safety of the building. If you spot any dangers and damages in the school premises, please report to the administration office.
