What are the common problems in studying in primary schools in New Zealand?

New Zealand's primary education ranks first among English-speaking countries, which attracts many parents to send their children to New Zealand for primary school. The following are the common questions and answers I shared about studying in primary schools in New Zealand. Let's have a look.

Frequently asked questions about studying abroad in New Zealand primary schools 1. How old can a child go to primary school and which grade can he transfer to?

Children can be sent to New Zealand to attend the first grade of primary school when they reach the age of 5. If you transfer from China, the school will decide which grade to attend according to your age.

The child is so young, can you accompany him there?

Before the child is 9 years old (including 9 years old), he must be accompanied by one parent or legal guardian (only one parent), and parents can apply for a visa to accompany him. The time limit of the visa coincides with the child's study period.

3. Can I work with my students?

Yes, but it can only be a job between 9: 30 and 2: 30 (when the children are at school), and there must be a job offer, and then you can apply to the immigration office to change the visa conditions to part-time jobs.

4. What should I do if my child didn't understand in the past?

Basically, you don't have to worry about this. First of all, the learning environment there is very relaxed, and the course schedule and difficulty are different from those in China. Teachers will give guidance and assign homework according to different situations of children. Secondly, the school will also offer language courses for international students, and children can take regular classes while learning the language; Also, the school will have special teachers to manage and take care of international students, and many schools have Chinese teachers who can speak Chinese.

5. What if the child is sick there? Will it be expensive to see a doctor?

Every student studying in New Zealand must buy student insurance, which can basically reimburse medical expenses. After the children go, they can find a family doctor near their place of residence. If he is ill, he can make an appointment with a family doctor. Usually he needs to pay the fee first, and then take the receipt and medical certificate to the insurance company for reimbursement.

6. Can I go on a short-term study tour in summer vacation or winter vacation?

Yes, many primary schools can provide short-term study programs of at least four weeks, that is, put children in local classes of the same age to let them experience different educational models, and parents can also check whether their children can adapt to the study here before deciding whether to study abroad for a long time.

7. How are the students' holidays arranged? Can they go back to China during the holiday?

The school has four semesters from the end of June to the middle of February, and there will be enough holidays to go home after class in June.

Term 1: from the end of January to the middle of April, and then what? A two-week holiday

Second semester: from the end of April to the beginning of July? A two-week holiday

Third semester: from mid-July to late September? A two-week holiday

Term 4: from mid-October to mid-December? Six-week summer vacation

New Zealand study visa 1, medical examination notarization, no crime required materials: the medical examination will be done in the medical examination hospital designated by the New Zealand Immigration Bureau, and the medical examination report will usually come out on the same day, and it is sealed and must not be opened. In addition, the focus here is crime-free notarization. First of all, you should take your household registration book to the local police station to issue a certificate of innocence. When you get the original certificate of innocence, you must make a copy first. Then you take the original certificate of innocence to the notary office for notarization. At this time, your original certificate of innocence was taken back by the notary office, but we should also submit the certificate of innocence when submitting the materials to the visa officer, which is why we should make a copy in advance. In addition, the validity period of crime-free notarization is only half a year, so everyone can only notarize one copy.

2. study plan: this study plan is different from the PS written when applying for a school. The focus of the study plan is why you chose this school. What is your study plan and how do you want to study? What are your plans after graduation?

3. University Offer: Just print out the electronic version of the Offer issued by the university.

4. proof of funds: this should be easy to understand, that is, proof of funds that can prove your tuition and living expenses in New Zealand for several years.

5. Income certificate of the fund guarantor: Let's take your parents as an example to introduce this. If parents are on-the-job employees, they need to provide their parents' employment certificates, deposit certificates, bank running water and all other certificates that can be converted into cash at any time, such as houses, cars, funds, stocks and wealth management. If parents start their own company, they need to provide company business license, capital verification report and annual income certificate.

6. Application fee: The fees to be paid here are 220 yuan charged by the visa officer and 65,438+0, 440 yuan charged by the immigration officer. If you want to send it by post, you need to pay the postage in 50 yuan.

7. Forms: There are three forms to be submitted, namely, student summary form, INZ 1027 supplementary form and INZ 10 12 form, which should be filled in English.

The above is a list of visa materials for studying in New Zealand. I have talked a lot, from which we can see that the preparation of materials for studying in New Zealand is not so simple. Children's boots that want to submit a visa must carefully check the accuracy of the materials you submit, and don't affect the pass rate of the visa because of some minor mistakes.

New Zealand primary school study abroad costs New Zealand primary schools are divided into private and public schools, and one class in private schools is about 15. How much does it cost to go to primary school in New Zealand? About 250,000 yuan a year, the cost is relatively low, about 1.8 million a year. Due to the recent financial market turmoil, the exchange rate of the New Zealand dollar has fallen, which is more affordable for students studying in New Zealand. If parents rent a house together, the apartment is about 5000-8000 yuan per month, which is close to the urban area, and if they share a villa, it is about 3000 yuan per month.

New Zealand students must pay a fixed annual fee for sponsorship and activities. Among them, the sponsorship fee is the same for every student, 140 yuan per year; According to different grades, the activity expenses range from 45 yuan in grade 1-2 to 60 yuan in grade 3-6. In other words, 200 yuan can study for one year at most. 200 yuan, you can choose to pay in one lump sum at the beginning of the semester or pay in installments by semester. What's more, if you enter school halfway, the school will help you spread these expenses for a week and will never overcharge you.

New Zealand is a country with educational status. Primary school is a six-year program. They are more like children's playgrounds than schools. There are playgrounds in schools, and some schools also have swimming pools. Teachers can teach in different ways according to the syllabus and their own experience, and the way of class is also very flexible. It doesn't matter that students can sit on the floor at will in class. Every semester, the teacher will send a report card signed by the principal, which contains the comprehensive situation of students' morality, intelligence and physical fitness.
