This policy outlines how Paparoa Street School meets the requirements of Code Outcome 18 and Outcome 22.
It is important that all staff directly or indirectly involved with international learners are aware of:
Role-appropriate support and training
All school staff are given information about the care of international learners appropriate to their role. This includes information shared in staff meetings, and in reports (e.g. to kaiārahi matua or the poari matua).
Staff who have regular contact with international learners are given cross-cultural training to develop their competency in, and understanding of, communication and behaviour patterns in another culture. This may include teaching staff and teacher aides, international learner support staff, administration staff, and the tumuaki.
All new staff members who have direct contact with international learners are given support and relevant professional development opportunities so that they become familiar with the Code of Practice, and our policies and procedures for international learners, including our compliance with the dispute resolution scheme.
Specifically, the international learner coordinator at our school undertakes professional development (such as through ISANA NZ) and shares this with other school staff.
