Timaru Girls' High School expects all students to behave in a courteous, responsible way. Rules which are particularly applicable to International students are:

Uniform
Students at all levels must wear the correct school uniform. All items can be purchased locally.

Attendance
Frequent or unexplained absences must be reported to the New Zealand Immigration Service and this may result in the termination of the Student Permit. If you are absent from school for three or more days you must get a note from your Doctor.

Insurance
It is also a condition of enrolment that students have adequate travel insurance covering medical and personal effects. This can be arranged through the school. The school can accept no responsibility for medical expenses incurred by students.

Employment
Students may work during the long summer holidays but must first get a Work Permit from Immigration. This is quite simple and the student does not need to have a job before applying for a holiday Work Permit.

Homestay
Special conditions apply to students in Homestay. Please read the Homestay contract carefully.

Holidays
Unless there are very special circumstances you will not be allowed to leave school before the start of the holidays. It is important therefore to book your flight home as early as possible.

Regulations
Students must abide by the school regulations which apply to all other students attending Timaru Girls' High School.
