The school will not be liable for any loss of damage to property or persons, however caused, except where such liability is imposed by New Zealand law.

Consents

The parents of an Overseas Student authorise the Principal of the School to provide any consents required to be given on the student's behalf in the event of a medical emergency where it is not possible or reasonably practicable to contact the student's parents.

Regulations, Attendance and Behaviour

Parents enrolling an Overseas Student at the School must promise that their student will obey the school regulations and rules.

All International students must maintain satisfactory attendance and comply with School rules on behaviour. Students in homestay accommodation must also behave in a satisfactory manner. If a student's behaviour or school attendance is unsatisfactory, the following process will be followed:

Student will be counselled by senior staff.
If the student's behaviour or attendance does not improve the student will be put on formal attendance check/given a written warning. The student's parents and/or guardians will be informed.
If improvement does not occur, the School reserves the right to withdraw the student's Offer of Place. Immigration and Parents will then be informed.

NB: If a student's behaviour is so unacceptable that suitable accommodation cannot be found, Lincoln High School reserves the right to send the student back to their home country and the care of their parents.

Contact Details.
