Managing Withdrawal and Closure

This policy outlines how Paparoa Street School meets the requirements of Code Outcome 20.

There may be circumstances in which an international learner's enrolment ends due to learner withdrawal, or because Paparoa Street School:

Paparoa Street School has practices in place to ensure that such circumstances are dealt with fairly and reasonably.

When an international learner withdraws, we document:

Terminating the contract of enrolment

Paparoa Street School may terminate the contract of enrolment at our discretion if the:

As required by the Code, we outline our disciplinary processes and processes for seeking to terminate enrolment in our enrolment contract and these processes follow the principles of natural justice. Also see Behaviour Expectations and Disciplinary Actions for International Learners.

The school notifies Immigration New Zealand when an international learner's enrolment is terminated. See Immigration Matters.

Unable to provide agreed educational programme

In the unlikely event that Paparoa Street School is no longer able to provide the agreed educational programme due to ceasing to be a signatory or permanent school closure, our international learner fee protection and refunds policies will apply.

The international learner may agree to transfer to another school, and this will be worked through with the learner and their family on a case-by-case basis.

If the school is closed for onsite learning (e.g. due to pandemic), the agreed educational programme can still be provided through distance learning.
