Pastoral Care

THE CODE
Click the image above to view a copy of the Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021.

The Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021 sets out the minimum standards of advice and care expected of New Zealand education providers to ensure the wellbeing of their international students.

Education providers must be approved signatories to the Code to enrol international students.

The Code specifies ten outcomes which signatories must meet, as well as minimum processes required to achieve each outcome.

By focusing on outcomes, the Code sets out what must be achieved rather than prescribing how to achieve it. Signatories are regarded as the trusted experts who have the flexibility to tailor policies and processes to meet the needs of their international learners.

Tawa Intermediate School is an approved signatory to the Code.
