Parents are welcome to visit their child while studying in New Zealand. The International Office can assist in any documentation required.
International students are encouraged to travel within New Zealand in holiday time:
with their host families, with school-organised groups; and on trips and activities organised by their agents or by approved student travel companies in the school holidays with their parents
We do not recommend a return to the home country in the short holiday breaks.
International students are not permitted to leave school before the end of term to travel home and must ensure they are back in NZ in time for the start of the new term. All holiday/travel arrangements must be approved by the International Director. All Code regulations must be met. Forms are available from the International Office.
International students are not allowed to travel independently while they are studying at Kelston Boys High School. This is a condition of enrolment.
International students are not allowed to drive a car whilst at Kelston Boys High School. If students are caught driving, they will be sent back to their home country immediately. Travel and medical insurance does not cover international students driving.
Permission must be given by parents, although the International Director will make the final decision, and all Code of Practice requirements must be met.
