International Parents/Caregivers Orientation

This policy outlines how Paparoa Street School meets the requirements of Code Outcome 17, clause 70.2.

We ensure parents/guardians and (if relevant) residential caregivers have access to the orientation information or programme provided to learners.

We also ensure that parents/guardians and any residential caregivers are informed of:

what is expected of their learner at school (e.g. attendance, achievement, behaviour)
how the school operates (e.g. school hours, term dates, communication between school and home)
what support is available.

Further orientation

Although it is not required by the Code, Paparoa Street School may provide further orientation information for parents/caregivers if they are going to be living in New Zealand with the international school learner. This helps to ensure that parents/caregivers of international learners are able to make informed choices and access support while living here. The orientation information may include:

daily living routines
living costs and budget advice
banking information (e.g. how to open a bank account)
transport (e.g. car licensing and driving)
climate and clothing
surrounding rural or urban environment
information about cultural, recreational, and sporting activities
water and sun safety
earthquakes and natural disasters.
