International Student Code of Practice:
When students come to study in New Zealand, education providers have an important responsibility to ensure that those students are well informed, safe and properly cared for.
To support this, the New Zealand government has developed a Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students (the Code).
The Code is a document that provides a framework for service delivery by education providers and their agents to international students.
You can download a copy of The Code of Practice for Pastoral Care -Caring for International Students in following languages:
•    Japanese

•    Thai
•    Chinese
