Cockle Bay School welcomes enrolment applications from International
Students but acceptance is dependent upon roll numbers. The school has a set
maximum class size for each year of schooling and will only accept
enrolments if the maximum class size in the year applied has not been
reached. In accordance with the Education Standards Act 2001 no fee paying
international student shall occupy a place in preference to an eligible
domestic student. The international student must be living and continue to live with a parent or legal guardian while studying at our school.
A current passport must support all enrolment
applications. A Student permit is required before starting school.
Cockle Bay School does not organise Homestay accommodation.
Cockle Bay School has agreed to observe and be bound by the Code of Practice
for the Pastoral Care of International Students published by the Ministry of
Education. Copies of the Code are available on request from this institution
or from the New Zealand Ministry of Education website at

Health and Travel Insurance
Most students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while in
New Zealand unless they are:
-
A resident or citizen of Australia; or
-
A national of the United Kingdom in New Zealand: or
-
The holder of a temporary permit that is valid for two years or more.
If you do not belong to one of these special categories and you receive
medical treatment during your visit, you will be liable for the full costs
of that treatment. We strongly recommend that you have insurance that will
cover the cost of medical treatment in New Zealand for the duration of you
stay in New Zealand. We also strongly recommend that you obtain insurance to
cover your travel to and from New Zealand.

Educational Opportunities
The international student is placed into a mainstream classroom. There they
are assessed and put into withdrawal groups or one on one depending on their
level of English. They are included in as much of the normal classroom
programme as possible so they have endless opportunities for hearing, seeing
and experiencing language for interesting repetition and consolidation. The
school offers support for maintenance of first languages, the curriculum and
integration.
