◊ Do I have to speak fluent English to enrol at the school?
You must understand that your English will need to be of a standard
that will make your time spent in New Zealand beneficial. As a
guideline, on the International Language Testing System (IELTS) a band
5 would be the minimum (1 being the lowest result possible and 9 being
the best result possible).
▲
◊ Do I have to follow the school rules?
Of course! You are expected to follow the rules as other students
do; you are also liable for the same disciplinary procedures as other
students.
▲
◊ Do I have to wear a school uniform?
Christchurch Rudolf Steiner School does not have a school uniform, we
do operate a dress code which you will need to adhere to – see above
for details.
▲
◊ What happens if I don’t like my homestay family?
Some students want to change homestay after one week! It often
takes at least one month to feel relaxed in a homestay. Often a
problem can be solved by just talking about it – we can work with you
to resolve any issues you may have with your family.
▲
◊ Can I use computers, e-mail and the Internet at school?
Yes, school has very good computer facilities so you can keep in touch
with friends and family back home.
▲
◊ Will the school send reports to my parents?

The school will contact your parents at any time if a problem occurs.
