CoDe of Practice

Peace of mind for students and families

When you choose to study at Te Kamo High School, you are choosing a school that is a signatory to the Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice.

In simple terms, "The Code" is a set of national standards established by the New Zealand Government. It ensures that every international student is well-informed, safe, and properly cared for while living and studying in our country.

What The Code Means for You

The Code ensures that Te Kamo High School provides a high "Gold Standard" of care. We are committed to:

● Safety and Support: Providing a safe study environment and a supportive home life through our vetted homestay programme.

● Clear Information: Ensuring you have all the facts about our school, costs, and the local area before you leave home.

● A Warm Welcome: Providing a comprehensive orientation to help you settle into Kiwi life and school culture.

● Fairness: Ensuring that all school policies—from tuition fees to student conduct—are fair and transparent.

● Looking After You: Having dedicated staff (our International Team) available 24/7 to help with any challenges, whether they are academic, personal, or health-related.

Our Commitment to You

Te Kamo High School takes its responsibilities under the Code very seriously. We don’t just meet the standards; we strive to exceed them. We want you to feel happy, healthy, and successful during your stay in the "Winterless North."

If you ever feel that you are not being treated fairly or that your wellbeing isn't being supported, the Code also provides a clear pathway for you to raise your concerns and be heard.
