Insurance

International students must obtain appropriate insurance, including unlimited medical care and expatriation and repatriation, before enrolment commences. Orbit Protect or Southern Cross are two insurance options. 

Homestay Residential Care

Accommodation in homestay residential care can be arranged for students depending on availability. We do not arrange accommodation for parents.

Homestay fees are NZ$320 per week. This covers the cost of caregiver supervision, a fully furnished and heated room, meals and laundry. Students are expected to keep rooms clean and tidy.

Homestay fees are to be paid in full to Heaton Normal Intermediate School when tuition fees are paid.

The homestay placement fee is NZ$500 (GST inclusive). This includes the cost of finding and inspecting the homestay, obtaining police vetting and ongoing pastoral care. 

Designated Care

Students may live with a designated caregiver if compliance is met and the school grants approval. Administration costs include $400 per year or $200 per term.

A designated caregiver is a relative or close family friend, designated in writing by a parent or legal guardian of an international student under 18 years as the caregiver and accommodation provider for that student.
