3. Other Costs:
The following costs are not covered by the tuition fee and are the responsibility of the student:
- Uniform
A uniform will need to be purchased when the student arrives in New Zealand. A new uniform will cost around NZ$400 and can be brought from the school Uniform Shop.
- Textbooks and Stationery
Subject textbooks are usually provided on loan free of charge to all students. All students are responsible for providing their own workbooks, stationery and calculator etc.
- Examination/Qualifications Fees
There are no exam fees at Years 9 and 10.
National Exam (NCEA) fees (Years 11, 12 & 13 only) are $375 per year.
- Subject Expenses
All subject expenses will be deducted from the 'Activities & Subject' Fee to a maximum of $500. If fees total more than $500, they become the responsibility of the student. These fees may include:
Field trips (generally from $5-$40 per trip).
Workbooks, materials etc. These are generally quite low ($10-$20) but in certain subjects can be high (eg Year 13 Outdoor Education ($240) & Sports Science ($220).
- Travel
Airport pick-up: $75 per trip (students are met at the airport and taken to homestay)
Weekly bus fares: Around $15 per week (if student is not within walking distance of school)
- Travel & Medical Insurance
It is compulsory for all international students to have comprehensive Travel and Medical Insurance while studying in New Zealand, because they are not entitled to publicly funded health and disability services. The cost of insurance will vary from provider to provider but will generally be a minimum of $500/year.
4. Refund of Fees
Tuition Fee
Should the applicant not come to New Zealand the tuition fee minus NZ$500 administration fee will be refunded to the applicant.
Once the student has started the course, refunds may be made in the first half of the course. A written application for a refund, giving reasons for wanting to withdraw, is required. If the application is accepted, expenses incurred by the school and the administration fee of $500 will be deducted. In the second half of the course a refund will be made only in special circumstances.
A student who wishes to withdraw from the school in order to attend another high school will not normally be entitled to a refund of tuition fees. No refund will be made to a student who is suspended, expelled or excluded from the school.
Homestay Fee
All homestay fees not expended (minus two weeks notice) will be refunded.
This is a summary of the Refunds Policy. The more detailed policy is available in the 'Policy Information' document.
