Medical and Travel Insurance
International School Learners must hold, and provide evidence of, appropriate and current medical and travel insurance while studying in New Zealand. This insurance must cover the full length of time spent in New Zealand. An overseas insurance policy will only be accepted if it is accompanied by an English translation. The school will keep a record of the insurance policy number and type of cover offered. However, the school suggests using a New Zealand provider and contact us if you want to know more.
