Insurance
All International Students must have medical and travel insurance as International Students cannot access Government funded health care during their time in New Zealand.
Insurance can be arranged through the school and should be paid for before the student leaves home so that cover is ensured during the journey. We can obtain insurance for students through Uni-Care. although students may purchase insurance from another company if they wish. The School recommends students purchase insurance from a NZ company to assist with quick settlement of claims. It is also recommended that insurance covers belongings in case of loss or theft.
The original policy will be held in the International Office. If students do not provide evidence of insurance at their enrolment, the School will purchase insurance at student cost.
Visas
All international students attending Mount Roskill Grammar School will require a student visa. These should be arranged before starting school, and evidence of student visa will need to shown on enrolment. The School will assist to renew visas if required. Students who are 17 years or older when obtaining their visas will need to obtain Police clearance from their home countries. This also applies to students already studying in Auckland who need to renew their visas.
Complaints Procedure
We hope that you will have a happy time at Mount Roskill Grammar School but if you have problems with subjects or teachers, you can discuss them with your Level Co-ordinator or Dean. Homestay problems can be dealt with by Lorraine of our homestay company, Anlor.
You can also talk to Ms Harding or write to the Principal.
