A valid New Zealand student visa under the name of Kristin School must be presented to the Admissions Manager before International Students can begin their studies at Kristin School.
Please note that the fees are not refundable within the first 12 months for international students who wish to transfer to domestic fees as a result of gaining permanent residence or a work permit during that period. In subsequent years of enrolment, both notice and evidence of the change of status must be sent to the Executive Principal a full term in advance before a change of fees can be granted to apply to the subsequent term.
Tuition Fee Protection: The Board has in place a policy which holds all pre-paid tuition fees in a reserve. At the beginning of each term, a quarter of the pre-paid tuition fees are transferred from the reserve to the school’s income account. This policy enables the pre-paid portion of the fees to be readily identified at any time.
