If you require help with insurance the school can arrange insurance through Uni-care Travel Insurance on behalf of the student.
  

EQUIPMENT:

• Students must have a New Zealand sim card for their cellphone. This can be organised on arrival in New Zealand.

FEE REFUND:

Our fee refund policy is provided to parents before a contract is signed, and is included in the contract signed upon enrolment.

If a student withdraws from their course of study before the completion date, they may be eligible for a refund of tuition fees. The school will always investigate requests for a refund and act fairly.

• The school will consider refunding all or part of fees if:

  • there are special circumstances and proof is supplied (e.g. the child has a serious illness or accident, or the family needs to return home because of a family member's death)

  • the child gains permanent residency during the course (documentation of the residency must be provided within 14 days of it being granted)

  • the school is closed for a period of one week or more due to force majeure (defined as an event beyond the reasonable control of the school, such as snow, earthquake, etc.).

• The school is not obliged to refund fees if the child:

  • has been asked to leave the school because of poor attendance or a breach of enrolment conditions

  • wishes to transfer to another educational institution for any reason

  • has special needs that were not explained to the school on the enrolment form.

The refund policy must include refund conditions for the following situations:

• failure by a student to obtain a study visa

• voluntary withdrawal by a student

• the school ceasing to provide the agreed educational programme

• the school ceasing to be a signatory to the Code of Practice

• the school ceasing to be a provider.

If the school ceases to provide the agreed educational programme or ceases to be a signatory to the Code of Practice, Chisnallwood Intermediate School will deal with the fees paid for services not delivered or the unused portion of fees by:

• refunding the amount in question to the student (or the student's parent or legal guardian)

• transferring the amount to another signatory as agreed with the student (as specified in the Code).

How to apply for a full or partial refund of fees

To apply for a full or partial refund of fees, a parent (legal guardian) must apply in writing to the principal within one month of the student's last day at school (or within one month of the student gaining permanent residency) explaining the special circumstances.

• If a parent applies for a refund before the course starts, the school will refund the fees in full, less an administration fee. If they apply for a refund after the course starts, the school determines the level of refund, taking into account costs already incurred, and an administration fee. Special circumstances are taken into consideration (e.g. death of a close family member, serious illness, accident).

Payment of refunds

The school only refunds fees directly to a parent or to an agent with written authority from a parent. The school will never refund fees directly to the student.
