A Designated Caregiver must undertake all of the duties listed in 4 with the exception of homestay arrangements.

6  Health & Travel Insurance

Most international students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while in New Zealand. If you receive medical treatment during your visit, you may be liable for the full costs of that treatment. Full details on entitlements to publicly-funded health services are available through the Ministry of Health and can be viewed on their website at http://www.moh.govt.nz.

The Ministry of Education Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students requires all students to have appropriate and current medical and travel insurance while studying and travelling to/from New Zealand. It is a condition of enrolment that you have a comprehensive Unicare policy purchased by Middleton Grange on your behalf. Parents, agents and pupils must check the conditions of the Unicare policy as it is a minimum requirement only and it may be necessary to purchase “top-up” insurance. There is no refund for medical insurance once arranged.

7  NCEA Fees

NCEA fees are charged by the New Zealand Qualfications Authority (NZQA) for the National Certificate of Educational Achievement (NCEA). This is the national qualification that successful students will achieve each year in the Senior College. The cost is calculated by NZQA on an annual basis and is approximately $375. You will be invoiced for this with all other fees. If a student is sitting additional examinations for Scholarship in Year 13, an additional cost of $100 is charged, however the International College will be pleased to pay this Scholarship Fee provided the student has been recommended by their subject teacher.
